Chronic illness is common in the aged as their different systems slow down or break down or not function as before due to wear and tear of the body over years. Acute illnesses are usually isolated to one bodily area and respond to treatment. Acute and chronic illnesses, though different in severity, both need the same type of care, depending on the severity of the condition, therefore, we at Sans Souci will pay attention to such infirmities.

We will ensure that you enjoy a normal life by providing the best care available and employing all the best resources at hand. Our nurses, whose care is crucial to this, are trained to give patient and continual attention to those who have long-term conditions, not growing weary while demands on their time and effort. They will not only focus on the physical aspects of the disease, but also pay attention to the psychosocial variables involved in helping chronically ill patients to adapt to their daily living, making sure they correctly identify variable that will improve the quality of comfortable living. They will work to decrease stress, inculcate relaxation technique, and enable slow developmental increments that promote increased health and healing. Since they will be monitoring and documenting both physical and psychosocial factors, our nurses will be in an ideal position help those who have chronic and acute disease enjoy a modicum of regular existence.

An important stage in aging is frailty, a time when there is rapid shift from normal aging to a state of disability marked by increased weight loss, weakness, and decreased activity. The journal Clinics in Geriatric Medicine states that “frailty manifests as an age-related, biological vulnerability to stressors and decreased physiological reserves yielding a limited capacity to maintain homeostasis”, which in simple term means, the body is unable to achieve consistency and balance in physiological processes. Therefore, aged care involves enabling senior citizens to handle exhaustion, weakness, unintentional weight loss, slowing down of physical performance and decrease in physical activity that tend to be consistent throughout the body.

To handle frailty and failing processes, we will focus on improving your energy metabolism and increasing your neuromuscular health. We will study and understand the causes of your frailty, taking note of your past history and seek to identify the factors that have given rise to it. Our medical team will pay utmost attention to rectifying the parameters we pinpoint and improve your health by giving clinical attention to reverse the impacts through health care. We will go the extra mile to enable you to age gracefully through our concerted and dedicated regime to help you regain strength and well-being.

The leading concern and core health care in Sans Souci Aged Care is focusing on those suffering from dementia, since research has shown that there is much scope to improve the quality of life of such people by providing a supportive environment. Quality of life for people living with dementia can be improved through participation in pleasant and meaningful activities, social interactions, music, and creative art projects, being physically active and eating nutritious meals in a relaxed atmosphere can also help make each day a good day.

So, person-centred care will be provided for dementia patients which will focus on helping their general mood, engaging them in enjoyable activities, easing their physical functioning, and improving their ability to perform their everyday tasks.

We ensure that they have ample social interaction, healthy exercise, people to reminisce with and good nutrition, for these are key factors in helping to improve dementia patients’ overall mode of functioning. To help improve their quality of life, we are also considering therapy using music, art, and pets, in the future.

We provide safe living space, calm environment, and respectful communication in order to help them maintain their identity and sense of self. We seek to understand which activities give them pleasure and pinpoint interactions they used to enjoy, enabling them to find joy and hope, regardless of their condition. We will make sure to find what is highly beneficial for them since it will slow down the effects of the disease.

In treatment of any disease, be it operative or non-operative, after care is essential and crucial for complete and total recovery. Understanding this, apart from having a slew of General Practitioners, Medical Specialists, Allied Health, Pharmacy services, and the local public and private hospitals at hand, we have a well-trained and equipped team of caregivers and nursing personnel. Their primary task would be to ensure that in the aftermath of hospitalization, the returning patients are well-cared for, round-the-clock.

Once the patients have recovered, Sans Souci aged care will help them ease back into normal and routine activities with specialized care so that they do not find themselves feeling lost. Their emotional well-being and their psychological health will be given priority and as much focus as their physical welfare.
