As individuals age, they become more susceptible to injuries and functional decline. To preserve their level of functionality and mobility, therapy or training is essential. Therapy involves the treatment of diseases or physical/mental disorders through medical or physical means, typically excluding surgery.
Occasionally, the elderly may need rehabilitation to regain a healthy lifestyle after periods of illness or post-surgery.
In contemporary times, there is a growing preference among individuals, particularly the elderly, to opt for therapy within the comfort of their homes. This trend towards in-home therapy or mobile care is gaining momentum for several reasons.
Firstly, it offers unparalleled convenience by eliminating the need for individuals to travel to healthcare facilities. This not only saves time but also reduces the logistical challenges associated with transportation.
Moreover, in-home therapy supports energy conservation, a particularly significant benefit for the elderly who may find traveling to be physically taxing.
The option to recover in a safe and familiar environment is another compelling factor. Recognising the impact of the home environment on the functional status of the elderly, in-home therapy acknowledges the importance of personalised care within their own living spaces.
Ultimately, this approach tends to result in higher satisfaction levels, as individuals experience rehabilitation and therapy in the secure and comfortable confines of their own homes.
