Welcome to
Time Well Spent Senior Wellness
Supporting seniors to rediscover activities that bring them joy and wellness.
Hello!
I'm Christine Chipman, a recreation therapist providing in-home, one-to-one activities to improve the quality of life of aging seniors. I specialize in delivering programs to seniors living with:
-
dementia
-
physical and mobility challenges
-
and chronic illnesses.
I currently serve the Tri-Cities including Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody.
What is Recreation Therapy?
Recreation Therapy is a health care profession that uses recreation, leisure, and play to help individuals achieve independence and quality of life. As a Recreation Therapist, I reconnect seniors with past interests and assist them to discover new ones that will bring them happiness and improve their overall wellness.
Beyond companionship, my programs are tailored to the individual needs of my clients.
Social Connections
Loneliness and social isolation are significant health risks among seniors. My social programs include:
-
Memory games
-
Community outings
-
Arts & crafts
-
Music & reminiscing
-
Customized programs
Physical Wellness & Mobility
Physical activity can boost energy, strengthen muscles and bones, and reduce the risk of falls. My fitness programs include:
-
CareFit exercise (certified by Fraser Health)
-
Fall prevention
-
Walking programs
-
Balance & strength building
Assessment & Evaluation
Caregivers will receive a weekly update.
As a Certified Recreation Therapy Specialists (CTRS), I assess the needs of the client and provide regular progress reports on their well-being.
