AGING, DISABILITY, AND INJURY pose many challenges for individuals, their families, and loved ones. The realization that a person may require assistance due to declining physical and/or mental health can be very overwhelming. The decision-making process can be agonizing and exhausting.

Sometimes, it can be difficult for family members to have an aging loved one at home. According to Dr. Daffodils Guevarra, a specialist in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at the Rochester Wellness Centre in Dubai, “medical problems like long-standing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and other chronic medical issues can have serious complications to the aged individual and pose as a financial and emotional burden to the family members.” In the end, the quality of life, which is very essential to someone who has lived long and productive years, is compromised.

This is where certain specialized medical institutions can help. At the Rochester Wellness Centre in Jumeirah, Dubai, old-age people with geriatric and rehabilitative problems can stay and enjoy being taken care of by professional medical staff, in an environment which is peaceful, serene, and quiet. We are a full service homecare, live-in, and professional care management organization. We are dedicated to providing the highest quality of compassionate care to clients who are unable to manage their own lives on a daily basis due to aging, injury and disability.

Because being old may also mean having to contend with a variety of medical issues – diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis, back, neck and joint problems, Rochester’s team of specialists - geriatricians, cardiologists, rehabilitation medicine specialists, and general practitioners ensure that proper medical care is being given.

We hire only the best medical staff for our live-in and in-stay patients. Registered nurses provide 24-hour and round-the-clock nursing care.

And because most geriatric people need rehabilitation, be it maintaining their present function, facilitating mobilization, making them be independent in their activities of daily living, Rochester Wellness have dedicated rehabilitation professionals who can take care of your loved one’s rehabilitative needs. We have a team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, consulting a speech pathologist and a psychologist, all licensed/certified in their respective fields of practice, who can implement an intensive rehabilitation program tailor-made for your loved ones during their stay at the Centre.

Old-age people have special dietary needs. For those who have multiple medical issues, the kind and amount of food they take is of greatest importance. At Rochester Wellness, our consulting Nutritionist ensures that our patients have adequate and proper nutrition.

And, one of the few in Middle East, we offer AQUATIC THERAPY as part of our rehabilitation program.
For people who have arthritis, painful muscles and joints, for those who are recovering from injury, water-based exercises, because of water’s buoyancy, can make patients’ exercises easier and safer to do. Our pool is thermally-regulated, so be it in the heat of summer or in the cold of winter, our pool is an ideal environment for safe and pain-free movement.

Our In-stay facility offers other wellness solutions as well. We have an Ayurveda Spa and a Treatment Room where alternative therapies (Reiki, Vertical Reflexology) can be conducted. We also have a state-of-the-art Health Club (Gym) where patients and guests can exercise and improve their fitness.

Each room in our old-age facility is made to ensure that our patients get the best of comfort and safety. Our spacious rooms are equipped with flat-screen TVs with cable. For those aged patients who are technologically-savvy, WIFI internet is available. Handrails and grab bars are installed in all rooms and bathrooms. Patients in wheelchairs and other ambulatory devices can easily move throughout the Centre.

BECAUSE YOUR LOVED ONES COME FIRST.
