AURA “VITAL PROGRAMME”Methodology AV offers different activities to a very small group to optimize the benefits to increase independence. Scheduled activities are organised daily, except psychological treatment which are monthly sessions. A variety of activities ensure the participation and motivation and promote an active lifestyle.
AURA “VITAL PROGRAMME”Activities Activities consists of cognitive stimulation, cultural recreational, artistic, physical activities and domestic life. Some of them are carried out in AF like cognitive stimulation and art and painting. Others in AH where people practised cooking and other aspects of domestic life. Others also use neighborhood services.
