Monthly Musical exercise class to improve mobility of joints, strengthen muscles, and enhance mood and frequent crafting sessions allowing members of the group to express themselves. Those living with dementia can still experience sensation, relaxation, and reminiscence, our magic table is formed of interactive games which are specifically designed to stimulate all these three areas.
