Panorama Recreation Centre Caregiver Respite Program Panorama Recreation Centre is excited to launch a new Caregiver Respite Program for participants suffering from cognitive decline and their respective caregivers. This program is designed to provide caregivers with some respite time while their loved ones enjoy guided social time, light exercise and recreation activities. Instructors will lead participants through a variety of activities, games and exercises to enhance cognitive engagement, mobility and balance.

This program will help Panorama broaden their rehabilitation program offerings to help meet the growing
