social welfare – older people
•
The unit did not organise daily outdoor time and none of the residents were able
to go outdoors independently.
•
The unit had allocated more resources to outdoor time year-round, and the implementation of the plan was monitored.
Accessibility / facilities
•
The steep incline of the ramp at the entrance required action: especially in the
winter, the ramp was difficult to negotiate for anyone using a walking frame.
•
The safety and comfort of the staff, as well as the residents, requires adequate
lighting on the premises.
•
Accessibility extends to the use of websites. The joint authority for primary care
should make it a requirement that the websites of serviced accommodation are
more accessible, easier to use, and more informative.
Rehabilitation / activities
•
Physiotherapy services for persons
with memory disorders should be
more frequent, to prevent the stiffening caused by memory disorders
and to improve the persons’ quality
of life.
•
The unit could offer more physical
exercises to maintain and improve
the functional capacity of the residents.
•
As a positive observation, the unit
employed two in-house physiotherapists, one of whom concentrated on
serving the staff to counteract the
physical strain of their occupation.
Viherlaakso service centre has
a lumious fitness area.
•
The NPM also commended the rehabilitative approach to care work and that regular activities and exercise were organised for the residents.
•
The care of the residents focused heavily on medical aspects, which might lead to a
situation in which there is insufficient time allocated to social interaction and stimulating activities.
