Eight family-style wards for people with severe neurological disabilities
This home comprises three buildings with eight family-style wards and service areas. Residents are aged three and up, with diagnoses such as cerebral palsy (the most prevalent) and post-stroke disability with motor deficits in the lower and/or upper limbs, among others. The most frequent conditions include neurological, respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatological and urological problems. Each resident is placed according to age and sex.
Because the buildings have several floors, safety doors and mesh guards have been fitted to prevent injuries; posture-correcting chest supports and harnesses have also been installed on all wheelchairs.
Feeding techniques are individualized due to each resident's neurological disability, and they receive therapy: physical rehabilitation, psychological care, occupational therapy, speech therapy, educational games and more.
