By opting for a senior living community, both the senior and his or her family know that the new resident will be in the best hands, as a whole interdisciplinary team will be looking after his or her well-being. And that their health will be looked after in a comprehensive manner.
Whether the senior has an illness or not, the specialists at the senior communities provide completely personalized care.
However, the health services generally offered by this type of communities are the following:
- Nutrition: from this discipline, residents receive an individualized food plan according to their personal characteristics and nutritional needs. Generally, we work together with expert chefs who prepare special menus according to the nutrition specialist's guidelines.
- Psychology: mental health is important at all stages of life, from promotion, prevention or addressing psychological conflicts. For this reason, older adults living in a senior community receive individual or group psychotherapy and even family psychotherapy. They are given crisis care, which is a type of intervention that provides psychological support and emotional support to a person who is severely distressed.
In addition to this, talks on life skills or on specific topics that the residents are in need of are often given.
- Nursing monitoring: Through this service, medication is monitored and the vital signs of residents who require it are followed up. In addition, some older adults are given support in personal hygiene or mobilization when this is limited.
- Physiotherapy: specialists work with older adults on different objectives, such as: promoting the recovery of older adults with mobility difficulties or who have suffered an injury. Therapies are also provided to reduce joint pain.
