FRAIL CARE SERVICES

Frail care as a professional service is a long-term living solution for patients.

As seniors age, there comes a time when they aren’t able to care for themselves any longer. Performing daily tasks, such as dressing, bathing, cooking or even moving around becomes difficult due to physical frailty, mental incapacity or sometimes both. After a health incident, such as a stroke or fall, some people may need acute hospital care for a short time to recuperate before returning to their normal daily lives. In these instances, moving into a professional and fully equipped frail care facility is very often the right choice to ensure the safest possible environment and best quality of life.

ALZHEIMER’S WARD

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia. It is a progressive disease beginning with mild memory loss and possibly leading to loss of the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to the environment. Alzheimer’s disease involves parts of the brain that control thought, memory, and language. It is a progressive neurologic disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells to die. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia that causes a continuous decline in thinking, behavioural and social skills that affects a person’s ability to function independently.

PRIVATE LIVING IN

Living privately and safely on the premises, within the space and freedom of your own flatlet.
BSFA offers private living to residents but can still interact with other residents as well as attend social events and functions. When people get older they become tired easily and most would prefer not to travel far to interact. Private living is a great way to live amongst people of similar age, and also be able to easily interact as well as obtain any additional assistance whether it be health care, food services, medical assistance, or even just to have company and conversation with the other residents. Many elderly people are still capable to do most day-to-day tasks and may prefer to stay alone but close to medical and physical help if need be.
