Unlock the possibilities for a more vibrant life with Hydrotherapy 💦

Our team is excited to have recently provided Benetas with a demo and review of their new transfer equipment for carers! We showed how these tools could help reduce physical strain on those providing care while providing a better experience for the residents. 😊

Today we join COTA Victoria in raising awareness about World Elder Abuse Awareness Day!

🟣 Rates of elder abuse are under-reported, but the Australian Institute of Family Studies estimates up to 14 per cent of older people in Australia are affected.

🟠 Older people can reduce the risk of elder abuse by ensuring their financial, medical, legal and other affairs are in order. They must also be empowered to recognise the signs of elder abuse and encouraged to seek help.

If you are experiencing elder abuse or concerned about an older person, you can get help by calling Seniors Rights Victoria on 1300 368 821 Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm, or by visiting www.seniorsrights.org.au

Connecting through physical exercise - that's what it's all about! 😊 Let's celebrate how our understanding of exercise has grown over time and how it now allows us to build relationships, foster connections, and create a sense of community.

Happy Mother's Day! 🌼 Sending love and gratitude to all the moms out there who have been a source of inspiration, comfort, and joy in our lives!

As part of the April campaign to raise awareness of the impact of falls on older people and promote the latest best practice strategies to prevent them. Our physiotherapists have put together some helpful hints that seniors can implement in their homes to stay safe from falls and avoid accidents.

Hydrotherapy is considered a safe and efficient physical activity for seniors because the water provides a supportive, low-risk exercise environment that may reduce the likelihood of acute injury and fear of falling while improving muscular strength, balance, and cardiovascular fitness! 💪💦

Who better than The Dementia Centre to carry out these sessions as part of our PD Program for our physios to lift their communication strategies with people living with dementia and better equip them to manage pain for these clients.

Our Manual Handling Training helps the staff to reduce the risk of falls and injuries during the transfer process of people.

It was a privilege to have Dr Jennie Hewitt as a guest speaker for our first PD event of 2023! A session full of insights from her research, her work in falls prevention within aged care, and the SUNBEAM program (Strength and Balance Exercise in Aged Care).
