What we offer to our Residents
Medical assistance can be sought at an outpatient care office, which is available round the clock. The Residents are visited by specialist doctors and by a family doctor. The Associated Nursing Homes provide access to an in-house massage therapist and a physiotherapist, who provide various rehabilitation services, also with the use of specialized equipment.
The Residents receive loving care from the very beginning of their stay at the Homes. To each of them a dedicated employee is assigned to whom the Resident can present his or her problems. In addition, nurses provide assistance in various activities. Occupational therapy specialist make efforts to organize the free time of the Residents, using specially adapted rooms for that purpose.
August is the month when a meeting with the families of our Residents – a Family Picnic – is held at our Homes. We also readily participate in all integration events to which we are invited. We understand that mentally impaired individuals need contact with other people, not only of the same age. Our Residents are never bored, unless they are willing to be. We offer plenty of possibilities to spend one’s free time.
The best way to find out what our Homes offer is to visit us and to see for yourself what they look like and what conditions are provided here. You can also seek information from the Director or from social workers. However, as we understand that not everyone has the possibility or time to pay us a visit, we would like to present our Homes to you.
