A full schedule of therapeutic, leisure and recreational activities help our residents in a number of ways:

• Building a routine
• Keeping the body active
• Maintaining social skills and social interaction
• Increasing mental alertness
  

            Our goal is to keep residents functioning at the highest level possible in all dimensions of life: physical, psychological, social and spiritual. A wide variety of activities is offered in either a formal or informal setting. These activities can help restore and maintain a resident's self esteem, confidence, and a strengthened will to live.

            Individual activities are also offered for the room-bound, non-verbal, and disoriented resident as well as the ambulatory and active resident.

            Off-site trips are also offered to Golden Hill residents throughout the year. These include visiting Christmas and Easter Lanes, viewing of school plays, shopping at local malls and spending leisurely afternoons in the park.

            Activities are offered at Golden Hill Nursing Home seven days a week. At least three group activities are planned each day. Evening activities are also planned frequently throughout the month.

            Our program is specially designed to meet the needs, abilities and interests of each resident. Residents are encouraged to participate in daily activities as well as to assist in the planning of activities.
