Vulnerable Members: A Primer on Recreational Therapy

In this month’s discussion, a special guest will join us: Joan Sutton, owner of Caring For Seniors, LLC. Since 2009, Joan and her team of recreational therapists have been working one-on-one with individuals in their home to help improve the quality of life for the memory-impaired and for those living with Parkinsons or other neurodegenerative diseases. Joan will explain how recreational therapy can help to restore or rehabilitate a person’s level of functioning and independence. Learn how therapeutic recreation differs from other types of intervention. Q & A to follow.



All Village to Village Network Members are invited to join us on a monthly call to talk about the important topic of supporting our most frail members. As the society ages, it is inevitable that our membership will age as well, so whether your Village is currently serving frail members or preparing to serve them, we will use this monthly call to unpack this complicated programming consideration.

Topics open to discussion include, but are not limited to: developing a volunteer-based care coordination system, creating healthy boundaries for member service delivery, setting realistic expectations for members and their families, coordinating with local community resources, when to make a referral to Adult Protective Services, etc. Please come with your questions and we will try to address as much as we can in the hour we have. Note: If you have any questions or comments about Frail Members, please contact vtv@vtvnetwork.org.
