Therapy Set is a set of therapeutic aids for the elderly, especially for residents of Social Care Homes. The set consists of seven aids which facilitate comprehensive therapy of seniors. The aids can be produced by DPS residents within the framework of occupational therapy workshops and used in therapy and physiotherapy conducted at the seniors’ bedside. One of the elements of the project is a website with instructions and scripts for classes and exercises. The project has received funding from the Małopolski Inkubator of Social Innovations operating at the Regional Centre for Social Policy in Kraków. Website address: www.therapyset.pl
