Allen House offers a daily activity program based on the habilitation model of care. Seven days a week, the activity coordinators structure programs to highlight the individual strengths and interests of each resident, while keeping activities failure-free. The activity schedule is designed to resemble a normal daily routine, including multisensory experiences which provide residents with a sense of comfort and success.

Allen House residents enjoy regularly scheduled time in the garden, bus trips and outings to cultural institutions in the greater Boston community. Activities such as stimulating word games, daily walks outside (weather permitting) and exercise groups, music, art, afternoon teas, Catholic Mass and Shabbat services are offered to ensure residents’ cognitive, physical, creative, social and spiritual needs are being met.

All our programming is designed to encourage reminiscence and self-expression. Cooking and baking favorite recipes along with the use of expressive arts therapies are also included as are pet therapy visits and interaction with children. Springhouse is proud of the exceptional care we provide while using proven therapeutic and creative programming models.
