Telephone Comfort Care and Home Visits
It is amazing how friendships can be built by a telephone call. If you feel isolated, or long for someone to chat with, then you may benefit from a call to chat two or three times a week. People have bonded, and relationships maintained for years. So be a phone pal, see if this works for you. Read On!
We provide reading enjoyment to third graders by reading a book with them over the phone or by zoom. This engagement between young and old brings meaning into both lives. Testimonials indicate both child and reading buddy find this a satisfying and enjoying activity. Training is provided, if you would like to be a reading buddy! |
Welcome Center
We are working with the Youth Movement Against Alzheimer's at the University of Kentucky and have implemented a Virtual Welcome Center. Currently we meet every Weds and Sat at 10 a.m. for one hour. Our zoom link is: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/8592728515 Come join us!!!! Movement Therapy and Meditation Classes
Moving, stretching and meditating: Primary stress busters. Every Tuesday a qualified instructor holds a Tai Chi class at noon for 30 minutes. In a Wheelchair? Have problems with Balance? No problem, we can accommodate as all of our Tai Chi is done sitting down. Every Tuesday at 12:30, a qualified instructor holds a class which teaches the participant how to meditate or be mindful. You'll want to take a nap after this class lol.
