Socialization

A key component to our Therapeutic Recreation Program is socialization, which has proven to be instrumental in increasing an aging adult's psychological and physical well-being. Our members receive necessary social support through reminiscence programs, discussion groups, group activities such as sing-alongs, and trips out into the community.

Intergenerational

River House cultivates intergenerational relationships between our members and the younger members of our community through activities with local students and preschoolers, as well as programs designed to foster learning between generations.

MasterMind

While regular physical exercise is essential to maintaining health and well-being, so too is strengthening mental abilities. River House employs mentally stimulating activities to challenge and engage the minds of our members.

Our MasterMind Program is a mind enhancement course geared towards improving memory, verbal fluency, flexible thinking, attention, and communication.
