In view of the complexity of conditions, our allied health team created a comprehensive recovery plan, integrating physiotherapy and cognitive care components.

Mr L arrived at Allium Care Suites at the beginning of 2021. Diagnosed with dementia, he displayed both cognitive and behavioural symptoms, namely agitation, confusion and aggression. Mr L was frequently disorientated and in distressed need to locate misplaced belongings and a way out of his household.
Cognitive Therapy
Mr G arrived at Allium Care Suites in early 2020, diagnosed with dementia. In the beginning, he demonstrated a conflict between the need to be cared for and the want to feel independent. Mr G was hesitant to participate in rehabilitation activities and spent much of his time in his suite, disconnected from social interaction.
Functional Rehabilitation
Meet Mr O, our 77-year-old resident, who suffered a bilateral stroke in January this year. Mr O led an active and industrious life as an automotive technician. Overnight, he was suddenly aphasic and unable to stand or walk. Upon hospital discharge, Mr O arrived at Allium Care Suites.

Mr C arrived at Allium Care Suites in a dismal state of function at 60 years old. He was a wheelchair user after suffering a fall at home and experienced a long hospital stay.
