Yes, residents with swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) will be referred to Speech Therapist for assessment. The therapist will recommend food be processed in a special texture according to the severity of the resident’s condition.
When oral feeding becomes a high risk of choking (aspiration) and causes other associated problems, e.g. chest infection (aspiration pneumonia), a feeding tube will be recommended. Our care staff members are well trained in tube feeding and change of feeding tube.
What kind of activities are scheduled throughout the week?
There are various fun-filled activities that promote memory care such as Mind Start Activity like puzzles, Board Games doing picture pairing, Bingo, Mah-jong, Social & Recreational activities like karaoke and outdoor games.
Besides cognitive works, we have also incorporated general body conditioning exercise, physiotherapy, and therapeutic activities in accordance with the care plan for each resident to keep them active, retain and improve their quality of life.
Do our care staff speak the native language so that communication is effective?
We do have a significant portion of foreign care staff. All staff members are trained in basic conversational English. We also ensure that there is always someone who can speak English well during each shift. When needed, we have other staff members to help in translation for only dialect-speaking residents.
Is it possible for me to visit my loved ones without a prior appointment?
To prevent overcrowding at the Nursing Home, all visits need to be scheduled and approved in advance.
