Retirement homes in India are seeing a steady rise in the number of people opting to spend their golden years at. They not only provide retirees and the elderly with a place to live, but also give them the comfort, safety and medical care they seek. This also gives their families peace of mind knowing that they are very well taken care of with the right kind of support.
If you are looking for one for yourself or your family member, this is what you need to look for, especially with respect to medical services.
Elderly safe infrastructure: this includes everything from anti-slip flooring, handrails, ramps, wide doorways, emergency call buttons, CCTV, fire safety systems for the seniors to live safely.
Round the clock medical support: from on-call doctors, medical care providers, trained nurses, in house ambulance services, clinics and tie ups with hospitals, these essential medical support can help the seniors even in emergency situations.
Responsive staff: trained staff who are able to handle all kinds of medical and emergency situations, a good ratio to the number of seniors in the retirement facility and staff who provide round the clock care.
Overall holistic health and wellness: this includes well balanced, healthy and on time meals, opportunities for physical activities and hobby building activities to stimulate cognitive function. Spaces for recreational activities like walking, swimming, yoga and more.
Proximity to major hospitals/hubs: even if the retirement home has in house doctors and nurses, proximity to hospitals and hubs can help in emergency situations.
Level of care needed: the level of care needed might not be the same for all elders. The staff at the retirement homes must be able to provide the necessary care depending upon the residents’ needs.
