Social Recreation
Person-centered activities that support physical, social, and emotional well-being while helping individuals build confidence, explore interests, and stay connected to their communities.
Explore, play, and grow in the community
Social Recreation goes beyond in-home support by helping individuals build friendships, develop social skills, and participate in activities they enjoy. Through one-on-one support and community-based experiences, providers help each person explore their interests, build confidence, and feel more connected.
How Social Recreation supports meaningful experiences
Care is about more than support
It’s about connection. Our Social Recreation program helps your loved one enjoy meaningful community activities and work toward their socialization goals.
Specialized Support from Trained Coaches
