Outreach Programming
Therapeutic Horticulture
Horticultural therapy helps improve memory, cognitive abilities, task initiation, language skills, and socialization. Acton resident Cathy Fochtman offers 2-3 classes each month for Acton residents.
Balance Matters! 6 week classes
Funded by the Friends of the Acton Nursing Services
Join Karen Patterson PT, Board Certified Clinical Specialist in Geriatric Physical Therapy as she provides a 6 week series of classes on increasing strength, balance, flexibility and your confidence in performing activities of daily living. Karen also holds individualized balance assessments by appointment in the Acton Nursing Services office for all upcoming Balance Matters! programs. By doing these assessments she can determine if a resident could benefit from an individualized exercise program as opposed to this group class. If this is the case, she is happy to assist in making this recommendation to your PCP.
Maintenance Balance Class
Funded by an Anonymous Donor
Join Karen Patterson PT as she provides maintenance balance classes as a continued follow-up to her 6-week Balance Matters! Each class is independent of the other but you MUST have attended the Balance Matters! 6 week sessions to join
