The San Raffaele di Montecompatri Nursing Home (R.S.A.) provides health and welfare services of functional and social recovery to non-self-sufficient individuals, who cannot be treated at home, with illnesses in the phase of clinical stabilization that require continuous social and health care treatment.
The department is able to provide health care services of functional recovery of social inclusion, as well as prevention of aggravation of functional impairment for diseases that cannot be assisted at home and do not require hospitalization.
It is an accredited RSA according to Resource Utilization Groups (RUG) criteria, and provides type services:
- Medical, nursing, rehabilitation
- Continuity of care
- Socialization and animation activities
The purpose of the main activity is to optimize the quality of life of guests.
Rehabilitation programs are formulated for each guest in order to maintain and, where possible, enhance present motor activities.
Within the RSA department is guaranteed:
- Health care: is provided by the Primary Care Physicians coordinated by the Department Medical Officer.
- Nursing care: is provided 24 hours a day and, in addition to fulfilling regular hygiene practices, promotes and stimulates motor activity in collaboration with other professionals.
- Rehabilitation therapy: rehabilitation services include group or individual interventions, play therapy, occupational therapy, and neuromotor rehabilitation therapy. Rehabilitation is understood not as a moment isolated to the time and place of intervention of the specific professional, but also extends to the rest of the day so as to promote self-care and autonomy in the performance of the daily acts of life, under the careful supervision of caregivers. Basic care services, more specifically rehabilitative services, and specialized services are provided not in a sectorial manner, but in an atmosphere of intense integration among the interventions of the various providers.
- Social Therapy: ample space is also given to recreational activities, which are an integral part of daily life in the RSA, regulated by social activities designed according to the various types of guests in the Ward. In addition to the Facility’s own caregivers, volunteers and family members of the Residents who, individually or in groups, wish to cheer and enliven the lives of the residents are also involved in them. The various initiatives are coordinated by a team that includes the Ward Manager, social worker, head nurse, specialized nurses, O.T.A., vocational educator and rehabilitation therapists. Fundamental is considered the involvement of the family of origin, which is regarded as a particularly useful “method” for reducing the suffering from “uprooting” from the home environment of origin. Therefore, the participation of relatives and close friends in some of the residents’ caregiving moments is encouraged: mealtime, recreational and entertainment events.
