HEALTH IS WEALTH
​
ARTS will come to you! The ultimate goal is to enhance the quality of life of all the people that I have the pleasure visiting every week and bringing a smile to their lovely faces. I want to make a positive difference in every way possible.
​
Alejandra's Recreation Therapy Services (ARTS) are for all seniors who are in need of some increased stimulation, socialization, exercise or who are feeling lonely. ARTS provides 1:1 programs for seniors by engaging them in meaningful leisure activities in order to enhance their social, emotional, cognitive and physical well-being. I offer a variety of meaningful leisure activities to keep the mind busy and the body moving.
Also, ARTS provides respite for those who have caregiver burnout. ARTS is here for you and to alleviate your stress and to give yourself some self care time. Taking care of your well-being is important and ARTS is here to give you a break from being a caregiver for a few hours each week.
​
Also, I assist with other activities of daily living that include but are not limited to laundry, light cleaning, grocery shopping or assistance with packing for a trip. I am here to support people to make their lives better. Any other activities of daily living that you may need assistance with please inquire.
