Episode 51
How can one person's fall destine them to nursing home placement while another suffers different injuries that could be seen as more limiting, yet they are able to return to their prior living situation? I share the differences between the factors of recovery in this episode
- chronic and progressive illness
- motivation factors
- support systems
- perspective
- environmental factors
Have you ever wondered what OT is and how it's different from PT? I have been an OT for 23 years and I still have to explain it to people. I discuss how an OT approaches solving the challenge that someone who has fallen and can't use their arms or their legs for mobility or daily activity, and how you, the caregiver, have the same potential. You just need to know where to start, what barriers to eliminate, and how to maximize potential at every point.
Too often, caregivers limit TOO much of their loved one's opportunities and in so doing, they contribute to increased risk of weakness, balance disturbance, endurance limitations, fear of mobility, and more. I share some tips with you here. I know that caregivers can successfully master a DIY rehab approach at home and avoid the avoidable costs of hospital stays, nursing homes, rehab costs, and related costs of illness and injury.
