Caring for the Frail and Immobile
Description
Although the elderly, infirm, and bedridden may have the potential to improve their health and physical performance, they often display less progress than other patients. For this reason, inexperienced caregivers can become discouraged. This program serves as a source of inspiration for those who are working to help frail and immobilized patients. Viewers are reminded that everyone ages in a unique way; that even the most basic daily activities can have tremendous benefits, both mental and physical; and that-in addition to dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's-depression is a major factor to consider. The importance of social interaction is also a significant topic.
