Day Activities Centre Töölö offers companionship, activity and a positive feeling to your everyday life. We provide a safe and warm environment for elderly people living at home to spend an active day with others. Experienced instructors guide our activities, and we employ a rehabilitative approach to everyday life. We support your mobility, functional capacity and everyday coping in order to enable you to live at home for as long as possible.
Our days consist of doing things and having a good time together. Light exercise, conversations, music and activities which boost our memory punctuate the day. Everyone can participate according to their abilities, and the instructors gently encourage you to participate.
We utilise the versatile facilities and opportunities of the building. For example, we can use the sensory room, which provides calming and refreshing sensory experiences. We often spend time outdoors on our beautiful, garden-like yard with a cosy gazebo. Clients of the day activities can also participate in the senior centre’s events and work out at the gym. Day activities provide refreshing moments, a sense of community and support for everyday wellbeing.
