HillView Care Wellness Program
As we age there are many reasons as to why mobility can decrease and diminish, which can impact an individual’s psychological and physical health. Here at Hillview Care, we plan to promote and maintain the individual’s physical function through our ‘Wellness Program’. Under this Wellness Program, the resident will notice improvements in day-to-day activities as well as improved emotional and physical wellbeing. In addition to our wellness program, we offer and provide weekly gym sessions with our exercise therapists that assist with physical function in a fun and happy environment.
Selected residents are placed on an individualized 12-week program that is constructed and developed by our highly trained on-site physiotherapist team. The physiotherapist team will screen each individual and discuss the resident’s goals and preferences to assist in developing this program. Each individual program is made up of a variety of practical treatments including strength and conditioning, balance, range of movement, massage for pain relief and any other functional treatments that may be suited to the resident, relevant to their diagnosis. After 6 weeks, the physiotherapist creates a summary to reflect on how the individual has performed during the first half of their treatment. Once the 12-week program has completed, the physiotherapists will re-assess the resident and amend the program depending on their previous outcome. If deemed suitable, the resident will then commence on another 12-week program to assist their needs. Outcomes will differentiate to each individual resident, but the overall goal is to maintain or improve their physical function and wellbeing.
