Allied Health Services and promoting Physical activity is one of the key components in maintaining a healthy lifestyle while in residential aged care.
We provide a wide range of onsite allied health services for all our residents. Ranging from Podiatry and Optometry, as well as onsite ad-hoc services such as Exercise Physiology and Audiology.
Allied health services play an essential role in the care and support of older Australians living in residential aged care facilities. At Arete Health Care, we are committed to providing the best possible care. Our allied health team is an integral part of achieving that goal for our residents.
Our team of allied health professionals includes physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and dietitians. They work together with our nursing and care staff to ensure that our residents receive the best possible care.
Physiotherapy is an essential component of our allied health services, as it helps our residents maintain their physical mobility, strength, and balance. Our physiotherapists work with residents to develop individualised exercise programs that are tailored to their needs and abilities. They also provide pain management strategies and equipment prescriptions as needed.
Occupational therapy is a vital part of our allied health services. Our therapists work with residents to maintain independence in daily activities, helping them manage cognitive or physical impairments. They also offer advice on home modifications and provide training for staff and families to support residents.
Speech pathology is essential for residents with communication or swallowing difficulties. Our pathologists assess and manage these issues, create treatment plans, and provide ongoing care. They also educate and train our staff to ensure excellent resident care and support.
Finally, our dietitians play a critical role in ensuring that our residents receive appropriate nutrition and hydration. They develop individualised meal plans based on each resident’s nutritional needs and preferences, monitor their intake, and work with our kitchen staff to ensure that residents receive high-quality, nutritious meals.
At Arete Health Care, our allied health team plays a crucial role in achieving this goal by providing physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and dietetic services to our residents.
