Senior Residence in Valmiera

Beskrivelse
Daily activities with seniors, mostly in morning hours, but could be adjusted. This is not residence for poor seniors, as many of them have relatives who just can’t take 24/7 care of their parents/grandparents. Activities include reading newspapers and books together, talking about past, future and other topics, doing workshops (painting, singing, piano, cinema etc.), walking around. Excursions and visits together with other institutions can be arranged (e.g., kindergartens, schools, NGOs etc.). Communication language: Latvian, but Russian and English can be useful for both-sides learning process, body and emotional language works perfectly here.
