A homely environment with emphasis on social interaction and regular activities to stimulate the mind and body.
The most common mental infirmaties in older people are dementia-related conditions, such as Alzhemier’s Disease.
Elderly Mentally Infirm (EMI), refers to individuals who have lived with dementia-related conditions for a significant amount of time and need 24-hour care as their symptoms become more severe. Those symptoms may present as mental confusion, frailties and challenges to emotional well-being. At Select Healthcare, we understand that caring for loved ones with advanced dementia-related conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease can be challenging as well as distressing.
We provide round the clock care that caters to all the needs of an individual with a progessive type of dementia. The qualified carers who work in our EMI care homes are dedicated to creating an environment that enhances the wellbeing of all who live there. Personal care, dietary and mobility needs are all assessed and supported through a bespoke care plan created by a multi-disciplinary team.
Our specifically trained activity coordinators develop mind stimulating activities as a part of the reminiscence therapy we provide. Activities like Old Time sing-alongs and movies help to improve mental activity, evoke memories and boost well-being.
Our specialised EMI Care homes provide a safe and secure environment for individuals needing EMI care 24 hours a day. The fully qualified nurses and specially trained care staff provide person-centred support maintaining the dignity and encouraging independence and choice of the individual where possible.
At Select Healthcare, we work alongside nursing professionals like nutritionists and district nurses to ensure aspects of care such as nutritional needs are met. Some of our EMI care homes are fully wheelchair accessible and offer respite care as well as palliative care.
