‘ All six of our Faircape life retirement villages have in-house healthcare centres and clinic services , which fosters an environment of familiarity with residents , the staff and facilities . Because they are already staying in an estate which has become a familiar environment for them , the in-house frail care facility feels more like a home away from home for residents ,’ explains Van As .
An in-house facility like those at Faircape can streamline the process of moving from a home into a frail care facility , with many estates offering residents access to healthcare without leaving their home .
Outsourcing frail care gives residents world-class facilities
The practice of outsourcing essentially helps businesses and brands operate successfully by bringing in expert professionals to offer the best care and services to clients . In the case of a retirement estate , it means that residents often have access to some of the best services money can buy .
Faircape Health , for example , follows a comprehensive multidisciplinary team approach , incorporating medical doctors , physiotherapists , occupational therapists , social workers , 24-hour nurses and carers .
‘ This all-inclusive team empowers residents to participate in education , work , recreation , and meaningful life roles by addressing underlying conditions , such as pain and improving the way an individual functions in everyday life . The team works hard to offer support , comfort , safety and wellness in a stress-free environment ,’ says Van As .
Outsourcing frees you from one less worry
Losing control to an external service provider is often a valid concern for estate managers , but in the context of healthcare , it could be an advantage .
By subcontracting healthcare to a specialist service provider , an estate manager can concentrate on other areas of the business , as it absolves them of the responsibility of recruiting , training and retaining healthcare staff .
