“My best friend told me to thank my RT for giving her best friend back.  I used to sleep constantly and never go out.  Now I’m feeling more and more like a person and less like a brain injured person”. 

Mrs. W, RT client with a brain injury 

“My Recreation Therapist helped me learn that I can still do things that I thought I wouldn’t be able to do anymore like fishing with my new reel and bowling with that ramp.  I get out more often now and I feel good about myself when I get out”. 

Mr. S, RT client with quadriplegia 

“HCRT has given many of my clients with traumatic brain injuries and spinal cord injuries a means of recovery that helps with physical functioning and social skills.  And recreational therapy gives my clients a chance to build self confidence and live a healthy lifestyle.“

Linda Krumm, RN, BSN, CCM

 

Home and Community Recreation Therapy (HCRT) 

Home and Community Recreation Therapy is exactly what the name of the company implies.  We are a group of Recreation Therapists that specialize in providing home and community based therapy to people with traumatic physical disabilities.   

Research shows that an active, satisfying lifestyle leads to greater health and happiness—and that’s especially true for people with disabilities.  HCRT incorporates our clients’ interests, support network, and pre-injury lifestyles to better engage them in therapy and achieve functional improvements.  We provide the tools needed for ongoing success, working toward a lifestyle that is physically active, cognitively engaged, emotionally satisfying, and socially involved. 

Interventions and specializations include: 

  • Fitness programs
  • Aquatics therapy
  • Community safety evaluation
  • Family and aide training
  • Volunteer placement
  • Computer and/or PDA research and training
  • Education and integration into appropriate community institutions
  • Stress management and relaxation
  • Adaptive leisure skills training including horticulture, music, sports, art and games.

 

Clients and their families like HCRT’s practical and real life approach to therapy.  because we give them back as much of their lives as their disabilities allow.  Physicians know they can expect more successful, functional, durable outcomes.  And as clients become more physically and emotionally fit, they reduce their dependence on medical support and start living their lives again.
