A deck of cards, a short walk, and a few minutes of music. Beth Timko from CarDon & Associates joins us to share how recreation therapy shows up in everyday life with older adults. She walks through what engagement really looks like, how to read what someone needs, and why simple activities can open the door to connection. We also spend time on two topics that come up more often than people expect: loneliness and addiction. What they can look like in day-to-day life, what caregivers might notice first, and where support can begin.
