The Therapeutic Recreational Therapy department strives to promote joy and hope through meaningful and therapeutic leisure programs that re-creates the spirit of all our residents and patients. The comprehensive, individualized program is comprised of cognitive, physical, intellectual, creative, social and solitary recreational pursuits. Our goals are to educate, rehabilitate and have residents and patients participate in programs of their choice. Our highly experienced and specialized staff hold a minimum of a two or four year degree in recreation, or in a closely related field. Our Lady of Consolation is unique in that most of the recreational therapy staff have earned their professional national and state certifications.

Therapeutic Recreational therapy services are provided every day throughout the year including weekends, holidays, and evenings.. Programs can take place in a variety of settings such as our spacious auditorium, dining rooms, dayrooms, lounges, recreational therapy office, roombound and on the outside grounds. Community contacts and outings, special events, intergenerational and pet therapy programs round out our dynamic therapeutic recreational therapy program.
