REHAB / DAY REHAB FACILITIES

The Rehabilitation Hall is fully equipped with various stations for exercises therapy.  There are 5 different areas for rehabilitation - ambulation, upper limb rehab, lower limb rehab, neurological rehab and diversional therapy areas.  Apart from the main Rehabilitation Hall, there are also 2 private treatment rooms.  These are fully equipped to assess and treat individuals for musculoskeletal conditions.  Apart from therapy services, there are complementary services offered to residents such as aromatherapy massage, general massage and Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment on a weekly basis.

Residents have a structured programme of therapy twice a day - once in the morning and once in the afternoon.  Individuals are supervised and monitored during therapy and fully documentation for all individual programmes is now in place.  All residents have a combination of upper and lower limb exercises in their own programmes.

Group exercises are conducted which will incorporate hand-eye coordination activities, fine motor activities etc.  Residents are encouraged to join in activities like mahjong, board games and group-centered games.
