Реновированный гидротерапевтический бассейн в доме престарелых помогает жителям обрести независимость

A newly refurbished hydrotherapy pool is helping care home residents regain independence and mobility. The facility, operated by Splendid Care Group in Warnham, West Sussex, is improving wellbeing and family experiences for those in its care. Laura Newton, operations director at Splendid Care Group, said: "The hydrotherapy pool is a hugely valued resource and has the potential to make a real difference to people's lives." The pool is maintained at a warm temperature and supported by in-house physiotherapists. Ms Newton said: "We are already seeing some fantastic outcomes and it's wonderful to see residents gaining so much from the sessions."

One resident, Scott, who lives with quadriplegia, cerebral palsy and other disabilities, has already benefited from the pool. His father said: "The wonderful thing is that when he's in the pool, he can do things that he can't do anywhere else. "He can wriggle, kick and move independently and he gets so much from it physically and mentally." The physiotherapy team has worked closely with Scott’s family to ensure the sessions meet his needs. Splendid Care hopes to eventually open the facility to the wider public.
