Long Term Care Home Rehabilitation
Physiotherapy and occupational therapy are important services that can be provided to long-term care facilities to improve the health and well-being of residents. These services can help residents maintain or improve their physical and functional abilities, manage chronic conditions, and reduce their risk of falls and other health complications.
How Is Rehabilitation Beneficial For Care Home Patients
Physiotherapy focuses on the assessment, treatment, and prevention of physical disabilities and injuries. In long-term care facilities, physiotherapists can work with residents to improve their strength, flexibility, balance, and mobility through exercise programs, manual therapy, and other interventions.
Occupational therapy is another service that focuses on helping people achieve their goals of everyday living. In long-term care facilities, occupational therapists can work with residents to improve their ability to perform activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating. They may also provide assistive devices and modifications to the resident’s environment to make daily activities easier.
Overall, physiotherapy and occupational therapy can be valuable services provided to long-term care facilities to improve the quality of life for residents and help them maintain their independence and functional abilities.
Experienced Long Term Care Therapists
Long-term care homes require qualified and experienced healthcare professionals to provide physiotherapy and occupational therapy services to their residents. FisioMed has a long history of working with care homes and our therapists have plenty of experience doing it.
The care homes typically employ licensed and experienced therapists who can work with residents on a regular basis who are patient and compassionate.
How We Can Help
Long term care homes contract an outside therapy provider, where the outside provider brings in physical therapy services such as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and rehabilitation assistant services to their residents.
It is important for long-term care homes to ensure that the therapists providing services are licensed and experienced in working with older adults, particularly those with complex medical needs. They should also have the necessary equipment and resources to provide effective therapy services.
