Frail care deals with the care of persons who are in a weak or poor state of health due to old age or degenerative conditions or persons recuperating from surgery, physical trauma or medical treatment. A frail client/patient means a person of any age who is in need of twenty-four hour care either on a temporary or a permanent basis. Frail Care is fundamental Nursing Care.
La Vie Care offers Frail Care services at all of our facilities, namely: Brentmed in Benoni; Bronmed in Olympus; Elmed in Eldoraigne; Lynnmed in Lynnwood; Northmed in Randburg; and Oosmed in Willows.
Dementia is the loss of cognitive functioning—thinking, remembering, and reasoning— and behavioural abilities to such an extent that it interferes with a person’s daily life and activities. These functions include memory, language skills, visual perception, problem solving, self-management, and the ability to focus and pay attention. Some people with dementia cannot control their emotions, and their personalities may change.
All La Vie Care facilities have access to on-call physicians 24-hours per day.
