- September 2010 Activity Calendar

Our activity programming is at the heart of the Misler Center experience. Days at Misler are filled with enriching activities designed to meet the needs of people with a range of cognitive and physical abilities. Generally, participants have a choice of two or three activities, giving them an opportunity to express their interests. Our staff is always there to help those who may need encouragement. Those participants with memory problems stay engaged and “enjoy the moment.” Our goal is to exercise all the “muscles” of the person—the body and the mind.

Our activity leaders plan programs that include:

• stimulating discussion groups and lectures in our audio-looped facility

• physical exercise (including chair aerobics, stretching and physical games)

• therapeutic arts and craft activities

• writing and literature-based activities

• musical performances and programs

• word games

• reminiscing programs

• outings to museums and nearby attractions

• ongoing intergenerational programs with local schools

• nutrition and health presentations

Activity leaders, like all the Misler staff, get to know our participants’ life histories, interests and personalities, and they plan programs based on that knowledge.

The Misler Center offers large, comfortable activity rooms filled with natural light. In nice weather, we have barbecue picnics and gardening activities on our outdoor patio with raised gardens accessible to those in wheelchairs. In our dining room, we serve our four-course hot lunch (kosher)—soup, salad, a choice of two entrees and dessert. (Our participants always tell us, “It’s more like dinner!”)
