Ergotherapy and Prevention
We use ergotherapy to plan all activities aimed at promoting the health and wellness of our guests, allowing them to maintain a satisfactory, active social life.
Also known as occupational therapy, ergotherapy is an area of rehabilitation that deals in developing, recovering or maintaining autonomy in the everyday lives of people with cognitive, physical, and mental disabilities. Through activities targeted to involve the mind and body, ergotherapy helps the older person to keep physically, psychological and socially active, allowing them to acquire a good level of emotional security and sense of usefulness to deal with their days with greater autonomy and satisfaction.
It is a team therapy that involves different professionals (doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, etc.) who, working in synergy and on top of this, they act on a person’s motor, cognitive and sensory processes, boosting their abilities and independence from both the mental and physical viewpoints.
