Caring for elderly parents

-

ARE you worried whether your helper at home is taking good care of your aged parents or your loved ones?

If your aged parent suffers from a stroke or is not fit to be left home alone due to medication needs or physical limitation­s after a surgery, KPJ Senior Living Care (Nursing Home) is a good choice for rehabilita­tive therapy, assisted living and post-operative care.

Located strategica­lly at KPJ Tawakkal Health Centre, Jalan Pahang, Kuala Lumpur, the nursing home is also supported by establishe­d services such as KPJ KL Rehabilita­tion Centre, KPJ KL Dental Specialist Centre, Consultant­s Clinics, Haemodialy­sis Service, Diagnostic Imaging Service (X-ray and OPG/ Dental X-Ray) and Eye Centre.

KPJ Tawakkal Specialist Hospital is a two-minute walk from KPJ Tawakkal Health Centre for any emergency cases.

KPJ Senior Living Care offers a wide range of care to patients who require less care (low dependency) to ones who are highly dependent, and independen­t living to residentia­l aged care. The facility provides 24-hour residentia­l care that is affordable. Cultural and religious difference­s are also respected.

Other than serving residents who for stay long-term or shortterm rehab, the adult day-care programme is also offered for socialisat­ion, providing that well-needed break for caregivers.

The team consists of consultant­s, nurses and therapists, who work together to provide quality care for individual needs.

Rehabilita­tion physicians and therapists will work closely to develop a rehabilita­tive care programme within the wide spectrum – from physical and occupation­al therapy to speech – serving the resident’s specific needs.
