For residents who are not able to walk
independently, there are different treatment
methods and modalities at the mini gym on
the 5
th
floor that enable them to practice
active movements, including the BTE
Primus. Bed-bound residents will be
encouraged to use the Tilt table to promote
passive movement.
Trained Occupational Therapists work with
residents to improve residents’ cognitive
abilities including their focus, attention,
sequencing and memory via games and
interactive engaging activities. The centre
also has on board trained and experienced
speech therapists and psychologists to help
patients who have problems with speech,
swallowing or eating, or who have
psychological issues.
KPJ SLC was set up to serve Malaysia’s
ageing population, meeting their
expectations and standard of care in their
golden years. This is also part of an
extended service care for KPJ’s patients
who still require care and assistance upon
discharge from the hospital.
The centre conducts promotional activities
such as Open Days to attract potential
clients, while flyers are distributed in
targeted residential areas. Leveraging on
Malaysia’s warm weather, rich culture and
outstanding food, our next step is to look
into the potential of attracting senior
citizens overseas to our shores to escape
their harsh winters.
Trained Occupational Therapists will look into
improving the residents’
cognitive abilities including
their focus, attention, sequencing and memory via
games and interactive engaging activities.
We also encourage frequent
visits andmeals
with family members.
