Support for older adults
Personal hygiene and independence, fall and pressure-sore prevention, general monitoring.
Who it is for
Older people at home, in assisted living or sheltered housing, and their family carers.
How we work
- Regular visits are also there to spot change: appetite, hydration, mobility, confusion.
- Pressure-sore and fall prevention are built into every visit, not treated separately.
- We keep family carers informed of what we observe, within professional confidentiality.
- Three years in acute geriatric medicine at the university hospital: we recognise decompensation as it begins.
