Chair Volleyball Join us every Tuesday and Thursday at 11:30 a.m. for some exercise with friends.  This is seated volleyball with a beach ball, which leads to improved motor skills, coordination, and verbal communication.  This is one of the most popular activities, so come join the fun!
Chair Exercise Join us Tuesdays and Thursdays at 12:30 p.m. for Chair Exercise.  Group exercise activities provide the stroke survivor with light recreational activities to supplement the ongoing rehabilitative process.  These classes are led by certified physical therapists.

Occupational Therapy

This class is open to stroke survivors who wish to improve their ability to perform daily tasks and successfully execute meaningful and purposeful activities across the lifespan.  Stroke survivors may make an appointment to meet one-on-one with a Licensed Occupational Therapist.
Speech Therapy

This class is open to all stroke survivors whose speech may have been affected by stroke.  This is a group activity with a licensed Speech Pathologist.  Please see the monthly calendar

for days and times.
Fun Fridays Social activities for stroke survivors and caregivers which may include potlucks, movie days, games, excursions, and more.  Please see the monthly calendar for days and times.
Water Exercise This group class is held offsite the first three Wednesdays of each month.  The therapeutic heated pool provides safe access to stroke survivors with a ramp, handrails, and a lifeguard on duty in the water. The near weightless environment relieves stress from joints and allows muscles to operate freely. The water provides the body with the opportunity to change positions and improve circulation.  Classes are led by a lifeguard on deck.  Meet at the Stroke Center at 1:15 p.m. for transportation to the pool.  We will return by 3:45 p.m.
Caregiver and Family Support Group Coming soon.  Please check back for details.
