A frail care facility provides short and long term care for people in need of care such as those with chronic illnesses, disabilities, recovering from post-op surgery etc. Frail care facilities improve the quality of life of patients as well as the families caring for them. Not only are these patients part of a residential living community where they are actively stimulated, but they are also properly taken care of by trained healthcare professionals and caregivers.
Frail care services are necessary for those who can no longer perform normal daily tasks, such as dressing, bathing, cooking, or having trouble moving around independently. It is often required when someone has had a major health incident, such as a stroke, fallen ill, or had a bad fall.
Placing loved ones in a frail care facility also gives families peace of mind. Knowing that your loved one is being well looked after and receiving the necessary care to regain quality of life is important for caregivers. Caregivers often face burnout and are often not equipped or trained to look after their loved ones. Frail care services offered by Livewell are also there to alleviate caregivers.
