Activities
Citizens Care & Rehabilitation
Center prides itself on its superior activity staff
of eight members and how they provide your loved ones
with an extensive schedule of activities both on and
off campus. These activities are provided well into the
evening giving our residents the largest amount of variety
possible.
The programs are designed
to be entertaining as well as physically and mentally
challenging. Residents' rights are ou number one priority
with the activity staff and are respected at all times.
The staff encourages the residents to join in by picking
and choosing their preferred programs.
Socialization is an integral part
of wellness and this includes those residents who are cognitively
impaired. A program called “The Club” has been
implemented to accommodate their special needs. This program
is centered on those residents who are unable to join in
an off unit or large program. By creating a program that
is sensitive to these populations’ special needs,
their dignity and rights are preserved.
Families are encouraged to spend quality
time with their loved ones by sharing meals during special
occasions and Holidays. The activity department and the
dietary department work closely together to see that these
experiences are not only delicious but also entertaining
for all as well.
Our most popular activity
is Gourmet Galley, a weekly program that residents work
together with staff to make a home cooked five-course
meal. This program encompasses most therapies and the
residents never even consider it work.
At Citizens Care & Rehabilitation
Center we emphasize Care and Wellness in everything we do.
Our activity program is no exception. Your loved one has
the opportunity to choose from an extensive calendar of
events. Outside programs such as shopping trips, dinner
theaters, movies, community events, walks along the promenade
by the beautiful Chesapeake Bay, picnics in Tydings Park
and garden or factory tours in neighboring states are just
a few outings provided. Residents unable to be transferred
are allowed to participate on these outings using a wheelchair
lift van.
Socialization plays a big part in
the healing process. In the rehabilitation part of our facility
activities are offered in between therapies and in the evening.
