Therapeutic Recreation
The Therapeutic Recreation Department provides a wide range of activities to meet the needs and
abilities of the residents we serve. Art, Music, Social Events, Pet Therapy, International Luncheons,
Birthday Parties, Holiday Parties, and Evening Dances are only some of the many programs we provide.
Residents of River Manor also enjoy day trips, which provide opportunities for self- expression and
encourage social interaction. Our Alternative Recreational Programs, such as Aroma therapy and Mind
and Body Healing Class based on Tai-Chi, Yoga and Meditation and Breathing Techniques help to reduce
specific behavior, depression, chronic pain and adjustment difficulties. All activities have personal
and cultural relevance to our residents and are rewarding, pleasurable and success-oriented.

Food & Nutrition
Within our diverse population, food preferences play an important role. Our registered dietitians
are responsible for evaluating the nutritional requirements of each resident and for the planning,
preparation and delivery of nutritious and appetizing meals. We also offer a finger food menu which
was put in place to assist independent eating on our Dementia Unit. Special programs to enhance
family involvement include Holiday Family Participation, Outdoor Barbecues and Breakfast in the Sun.
Monthly food committee meetings allow residents to actively participate in menu planning.
