Meet The Team
Michelle Cheslak
Hi everyone, my name is Michelle. I graduated from St. Joseph University with a Bachelor of Science in Recreation and received my Master of Business Administration in Healthcare Management.I have been a Recreation Therapist for 20 years specializing in Long Term Care with the Geriatric/Dementia/Alzheimer population.
I believe that social interactions, cognitive stimulation, and utilizing Therapeutic Recreation in a home environment can benefit our aging population. I believe in meeting an individual at their current stage of life and empowering them to find happiness and fulfillment through therapeutic activities. One may receive Physical Therapy and/or Occupational Therapies at home, but stimulating the mind, body, and spirit can bring many different benefits.
Through Recreation Therapy, we can provide extra support for your loved ones with rewarding benefits. I have a wealth of experience working with older adults and building supportive partnership.
