Our Older Adult Day Programs are designed to provide seniors with developmental disabilities a space where they can enjoy stimulating, meaningful activities in a safe, supportive environment. As individuals age, maintaining physical health, cognitive engagement, and social connections becomes even more important. At Connecting Hearts in Florida ADT, we create daily programs that cater to the specific needs and interests of older adults, offering a range of activities that promote overall well-being.

Clients can participate in recreational activities like arts and crafts, group games, or light exercise to maintain physical activity levels.

Social interaction is another key focus, with plenty of opportunities for clients to bond with peers, share stories, and create lasting friendships.

Our Music Therapy program at Connecting Hearts in Florida ADT harnesses the universal power of music to improve emotional and cognitive functioning in adults with developmental disabilities. Whether through singing, playing instruments, or simply listening to music, clients are guided through therapeutic sessions that allow them to connect with their emotions, enhance communication skills, and find joy in rhythm and melody.

Music has been shown to stimulate brain activity and improve mood, making it an ideal therapeutic tool for individuals with developmental challenges. During sessions, clients may engage in group sing-alongs, instrument-playing, or music-listening exercises, all under the guidance of our skilled music therapists. These activities not only promote emotional expression but also help improve memory, attention span, and coordination.

Beyond the cognitive benefits, music therapy offers an opportunity for social interaction and community-building. Clients can share in the joy of creating music together, building connections with their peers while exploring new ways to communicate and express themselves. Whether clients are participating in a rhythmic drumming circle or composing their own melodies, our Music Therapy program encourages personal growth, emotional release, and an overall sense of well-being.
