Long term care is often required as a result of age, severe injury, or when a person’s condition means it’s no longer practical for them to live independently. It assists with the performance of daily activities such as dressing, bathing, cooking, and even moving around. Whether it be due to physical frailty, mental incapacity, or both, moving into a professional and fully equipped care facility is often the right choice to ensure the safest possible environment and best possible quality of life for your loved ones.
Faircape Health offers a wide range of services to long term residents in a homely environment. Long term residents have access to a comprehensive and balanced activity programmes run by Occupational Therapists based at each centre. These activity programmes offer residents opportunities for social engagement, physical exercise, intellectual stimulation and fun through music, dance, pet therapy, games, armchair travel, debates, discussions, quizzes, exercise groups, outings and more.
In addition to a busy activity schedule, long term residents enjoy balanced and nutritious meals approved by a registered dietitian. The meals are enhanced by regular themed catering around special events and noteworthy days in the year.
Kindly note: We are unable to care for patients with severe dementia who, despite reasonable psychiatric management, exhibit the following features:
– Refusal of eating/drinking and ADLs such as washing
– Frequent wandering
– Agitation with verbal or physical violence
– Requiring constant supervision (unsafe to leave alone even for short periods of time).
We don’t partake in stringent physical or chemical restraints that diminish quality of life. Therefore, we can’t safely care for dementia patients who are a danger to themselves or others, or who can’t be cared for in a normal frail care setting.
At Faircape Health, we focus on and value the person – who they are, who they were, and we respect and honour our residents and the contributions they make and have made in their lives. Our staff build special relationships with residents that helps our residents to feel like they belong and they are at home with us.
Clinical evidence shows that treatment outcomes are best when treatment is administered by an MDT incorporating a variety of practitioners. At Faircape Health, we bring together healthcare professionals from different fields to collaborate on treatment plans for optimal clinical outcomes in the outpatient healthcare setting. Primary and allied healthcare practitioners combine their specialities to administer the most comprehensive treatment plans available.
Nursing and care staff participate in regular training events to keep their skills up to date to be able to deliver the best care to long term residents in an environment that enhances wellbeing.
