Do wounds heal faster when covered or uncovered?
There are two ways to dress a wound; one way is to clean and leave it alone so that the airflow can aid in healing, the second way is to dress it up with a bandage to prevent bleeding and infection. In our nursing home, we choose not to let the wound sit open, as wounds without dressing can take a longer healing time and be more painful.
Furthermore, severe wounds require moisture to heal, and leaving a wound open can cause the outer surface to dry out and result in more pain. Our wound specialist recommends dressing an injury with the application of an antibiotic ointment to keep the wound moist. This way, the wound is safe from exposure to dirt, infections, and potential injury. We offer specialized wound care, among other services, at our rehab in Albuquerque.
Cost of facility-based respite care
Caregivers can need time for themselves once in a while to avoid burnout. Respite care for seniors is a great way to make sure that your loved ones are well cared for while you take time off. The cost of respite care ranges from $12 to $50 per hour for intermittent help and $100 to $200 per day for live-in care. The cost of respite care can vary based on the location, services offered by the facility, facility amenities, etc.
We offer respite care for the elderly in our nursing homes on an hourly, daily, weekly, and extended basis. We determine the cost based on the type of services and the level of care offered. We offer premier respite services in our private luxury suites for seniors to feel comfortable and safe.
Key benefits of occupational therapy for elderly
Occupational therapy can help older adults overcome daily challenges and lead an enriched life. Some of the benefits of occupational therapy for the elderly includes:
- It helps to manage daily tasks with ease
- It improves range of motion
- It helps improve cognitive functions like memory, perception, and attention
Besides, occupational therapy also promotes visual awareness and reduces the symptoms of neurological disorders like Alzheimer's and dementia. Our occupational therapists also train our seniors on developing effective coping mechanisms to help them overcome negative feelings and emotions.
How much weight will I lose after gastric sleeve?
While most people lose close to 60% or more of their body weight in the 12 to 18 months following a gastric sleeve procedure, some may lose lesser than that. Exercise and a strict diet regime can help patients with weight loss after bariatric surgery.
Contact our rehab in Albuquerque for more information on our bariatric care and services. At The Suites Rio Vista, we offer occupational, speech, physical, and massage therapy to help patients lead an improved quality of life.
