Program and Class Descriptions

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 *BY APPOINTMENT ONLY	Occupational Therapy 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 meet one-on-one with a Licensed Occupational Therapist, and 30-minute sessions are available by appointment only.
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.
