Therapeutic Recreation Recreational activities are so vital to quality of life that trained therapeutic recreationists are an integral part of health-care teams for seniors in rehabilitation, mental health, day care and long-termcare settings.

Interventions may take place on an individual basis or in small or large groups. Settings vary from a patient’s room to a lounge or specialized activity room to a location in the community.
