Recreation: Beyond the Activity Calendar – Part One

November 18, 2026, 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm

A Behind the Scenes Understanding

When people think about recreation in long-term care, they often think about games, events, and activities. But recreation is about much more than keeping residents busy. Join OARC for a two-part webinar that explores the important role recreation therapy plays in supporting residents’ well-being, independence, relationships, and sense of purpose.

Part One, A Behind the Scenes Understanding, will explore how recreation teams help create meaningful opportunities for residents to stay connected to their interests, strengths, and goals.

During this webinar, you will learn:

• The recreation requirements for long-term care homes, including staffing, qualifications, and funding
• How recreation supports the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and spiritual well-being of residents. 
• Recreation programs through the lens of the Recreation Professional and the Resident
• Understand how recreation teams can help residents find meaning, purpose, and connection in everyday life.

This webinar may be of interest to residents and Residents’ Councils, long-term care teams, and anyone interested in enhancing quality of life in their long-term care home.
