Occupational Therapy is used in El Saliente Dependency Centers to improve autonomy and quality of life. We also prevent dependency from getting worse or help users recover from setbacks. The Association of Persons with Disabilities describes this discipline as a way to express gratitude and appreciation for the work of those who practice it.
This Entity manages the following Dependency Care Centers: the Francisco Perez Miras Residence of Seriously Affected People With Physical Disabilities (Albox), El Saliente Occupational Day Centers (Albox), and Eduardo Fajardo Day Centers For the Elderly ( Almeria capital), Minerva, Benahadux and Manuela Cortes.
An Albox resident of the Francisco Perez Miras residence explains the job of an occupational therapist. Another resident of this complex confirms that it helps them to be as autonomous and independent as possible. A third user adds, “Thanks to them, we can accomplish certain tasks that were impossible before.”
The El Saliente Dependency Centers offer a professional and personalized service that includes Occupational Therapy to improve individual capabilities.
Rehabilitation and maintenance
Almudena Requena is the director of the ManuelaCortes Day Center for the Olderly in Albox. He stated that the centers run by the El Saliente Association provide specialized care for those who are in a state of dependency. The aim of the centers is to provide care resources that cater to their needs and provide maintenance or rehabilitation activities. This goal is to ensure that they remain in their families and community with the highest functional level and quality life possible.
Family opinion
Families of El Saliente Dependency Center users express satisfaction at the positive changes experienced by their loved ones after using these services. Fina del Pinos, Fina’s mother, is a Minerva Day Center user in Benahadux. She points out that the “results with my mother were very positive.”
My family was unaware of these centers or the work they do. We were reluctant to believe, and so we considered ourselves unbelievers. We have come to realize that people who come here are more adaptable than the families. Family members should appreciate this center and the important role they play in caring for elderly and dependent people.
El Saliente Dependency Centers combine experience, sacrifice, dedication, and sensitivity to offer a high-quality, personal service that aims to maintain and improve the health and quality of life of its users.
