DomusVi residences, a second home providing temporary respite breaks for the elderly in Murcia
Respite for family carers and a stimulating and active break for temporary residents in the heart of Murcia!
Now that the summer is almost upon us most of us are looking forward to a well-earned holiday, maybe at the beaches of Murcia or maybe travelling further afield to disconnect from the day-to-day routine and obligations of working life.
Unfortunately, though, there are some responsibilities and obligations which it is hard to leave behind even for just a few days, one example being the need to ensure that elderly relatives are properly cared for and looked after. We might not be working the 9-to-5 routine, but there are still people who depend on us for a large part of the day – and maybe even more when we don’t have to go out to work!
However we choose to spend our holidays, their needs and feelings still have to be taken into account, and this element of stress can become even more noticeable when our working life is placed on hold for a while!
In the Region of Murcia, DomusVi care homes have recently opened a brand-new residence on the outskirts of the regional capital where one of the main focuses is on ensuring that short-term stays are enjoyable, safe and relaxing for both residents and their carers. These “family respite” breaks are especially adapted for each temporary resident after a thorough personalised initial assessment of their needs and preferences, with factors such as pastimes, dietary habits and many others all being taken into account.
Numerous aspects of these family respite breaks offered by DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia are flexible including the duration, which can be anywhere form a weekend to a period of months! And while residents are in the care of the professional staff of DomusVi, they are encouraged to make use of various facilities and activities, including games, physical exercise, social gatherings, boat trips on the River Segura and trips to the impressive Museum of Science and Water in Murcia!
All of this provides both physical and emotional relief for family carers, enabling them to take time off for whatever reason: holidays, special occasions such as weddings, convalescence after illness or surgery or just the need for a break!
Apart from the onsite dining room and laundry services, other extras offered at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia include physiotherapy, podology and a hairdresser, and at all times families are kept up to date with how their loved one is faring in what they soon treat as their “second home”!
And at the same time, Cristina Pastor, the director of DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia, guarantees that each resident, whether short-term or long-term, receives personalised care and attention while having a chance to socialise with others and knowing that specialised medical professionals are on hand if and when required.
Cristina goes on to stress that as well as providing respite for carers, these respite breaks can also act as a holiday and a stimulus for the residents: the social aspect is reinforced with gentle physical activity and every effort is made to guarantee their emotional wellbeing during their stay.
And at all DomusVi centres there are staff who speak English!
So, if you need a break this summer with the peace of mind that your dependent relative is well cared for and in the best hands, contact DomusVi and find out how they can help you – it’s easier than you might think!
DomusVi is one of the longest-established and largest care home networks in Spain, having been offering top class facilities to residents for over 30 years and currently looking after more than 34,000 people either temporarily or on a permanent basis all over the country.
Each of their residences is designed, equipped and staffed in such a way as to guarantee comfortable and tranquil stays for residents, with personalized attention leading them to enjoy an active and sociable environment in what they soon consider to be their home.
The care offered at DomusVi nursing homes is comprehensive. This sense of emotional wellbeing is backed up by the guarantee of physical wellbeing, with safety, security and medical care being given the utmost importance. Therapies and activities are scheduled both to promote autonomy and the maintenance of the person’s abilities and to improve their physical and emotional state. This is possible thanks to the committed and dedicated professional teams who work on it.
That they can offer this personalized attention from the very first day is due to the thorough initial assessment of each new resident before their arrival, taking into account not only their physical needs but also their personal preferences, from hobbies to eating habits. Once residents see that they are treated in this way, they quickly adapt to the friendly family environment – this fact makes it possible for them to feel at home but with added comforts and luxuries such as a hairdresser, a swimming pool and a wider social circle!
The new DomusVi centre in the city of Murcia is located right opposite the “Palacio de Justicia” (the modern provincial court building) in one of the most attractive parts of the city, and with views looking out towards the mountains and the countryside of the “Huerta”. It’s location close to the inner and outer ring roads on the eastern side of the city make it easily accessible by car, and parking is generally easy close by, making it easy for visitors to pop in and visit their loved ones.
And at all DomusVi centres there are staff who speak English!
