Residents at Golfcrest Healthcare in Hollywood, Florida enjoy their occupational therapy rehab through functional activities of daily living combined with reminiscing and cognitive therapies.  Kenyetta Morales, MS, OTR/L believes in giving her patients functional activities to enhance their rehab potential.

“Activities, such as knitting and crocheting not only provide the fine motor component of therapy, but also incorporate cognitive skills as well’” explains Mrs. Morales.  Bridging the gap between generations, not only aids in recovery, but empowers the patients as well.  Patients realize that they too have much to offer during the treatment sessions. Recovery is “One stitch at a time”, states Lisa Panning, MSPT, RSM.
