Highland Cares About Our Resident's Quality of Life
-
We are innovators in Therapeutic Recreation Programs—reaching out individually to involve each resident in a wealth of activities—keeping them active and content. Here is a sample:
- Intergenerational Activities Program—Our residents and approximately 50 early childhood students from Our Saviour Lutheran Pre-School of Jamaica have created their own "community". With a communal Thanksgiving Dinner, Drama Club, and Arts & Crafts program, you understand our pride that a consultant to the New York City Department of Health has recognized:
"This is the only program of its kind in the entire City of New York." - Trips—Our residents go shopping, to ball games, the theater, movies, local restaurants, museums, and more.
- "Learn New Skills" Program—for individualized piano and crafts instruction.
- Adult Education—Our residents choose the topics: Science, History, Women in Literature, and Mythology, to name a few.
- Special Events—Our new "Senior Prom" Program—in conjunction with two local High Schools—came from our affiliation with the New York City Board of Education LEARN Program. Ethnic Festivals, the Staff/Resident Olympics, Mother's Day, Father's Day and Holiday Celebrations (we even provide the gifts!), and Birthday parties all add to the fun.
- Pen Pals Club (complete with a visit to our "correspondent facility" in Brooklyn), a resident-produced newsletter—and more!
