FRAIL
CARE SERVICES
|
| 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

|
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.
