Fulton Commons Care Center & Family First’s Recent Partnership
Alyssa Cottone and Keith Billstein of Family First with Renee and Christine from Fulton Common’s recreation department.
A look into cutting edge senior programming
In recent months, Family First and Fulton Commons have been collaborating in efforts to bring residents unique and innovative recreational opportunities. Programming includes cognitive stimulation, activities to enhance fine motor skills, and celebratory social events.
Staff at Fulton Commons believe this type of professional alliance adds value to their programming and encourages residents to form new relationships as they share new memories with peers. Family First’s most recent visit included residents experiencing Virtual Reality for the first time. Laughter and joy filled the room as participants traveled the world from the comfort and safety of their own chairs.
Family First is committed to improving the quality of life for older adults both in the home and in the community. In order to do this, we offer free programming to nursing homes and assisted living recreation departments, local senior centers, and adult day care programs.
