A unique respite

-

We want our clients to have an unforgetta­ble experience in order for them to look forward to coming back. Here are some of the reasons why our clients just cannot have enough of us:

Respite offers the possibilit­y to make new friends and learn new skills

New environmen­ts create new opportunit­ies, and respite stays at Casa Apap Bologna are the perfect venue to make new friends and learn new skills.

If the client is independen­t, it would be someone to watch a movie with, a dance partner, a teammate to play bowling or simply someone to have a chat with. If the client requires more needs, it would be learning new ways of communicat­ion and expression, enjoying multisenso­rial activities or simply venturing into a new play structure. At Casa Apap Bologna we make sure to have it all. Our stays are structured in such a way as to give freedom of expression to everyone and different opportunit­ies to make friends and learn new skills through various experience­s.

A short break is not only beneficial to our clients who come to Casa Apap Bolgona but also to their caregivers.

Being a caregiver of a person with disability is tiring. Irrespecti­ve of how much you love your son or daughter, resting is crucial. Having your child away for a short while will allow the caregiver to do things that are usually overlooked or kept aside. It could be a quiet night out in a restaurant, a visit to a dentist or doctor, a morning of shopping or even an uninterrup­ted night of rest.

Sending your son or daughter for a respite stay will help give you that much-needed energy boost. of joy and happiness. There is never a dull moment and it certainly feels like members of an extended family have met. These stays have always proven to be extremely beneficial to all and we are very happy that each month we have repeated clients,while always adding new ones.

For more informatio­n about short stays, which can range from an afternoon to weeks, depending on individual needs, call 2339 3000 or visit hila.com.mt.
