About R.O.S. Therapy System
In 2010, this therapy system was created to support the
needs of Roger Silknitter, who had fought Parkinson's disease and dementia for
25 years. Through the design of this particular therapeutic approach, seniors
are able to achieve a higher quality of life because they are able to engage in
activities that both boost cognitive and motor functions and are entertaining. Because
the quality of life and health of elderly individuals are top priorities at
Always Best Care, the senior care professionals at this organization have
adopted this therapy system to benefit the elderly individuals they care for.
The bundle package that the home care providers at this
organization share with seniors includes a console and several different game
boards, such as solitaire, tic tac toe, and mini puzzles. With a wedge cushion
to support the console, elderly individuals are able to engage in this form of
therapy easily—allowing them to get the maximum benefits possible.
Ask Your Loved One's Care Provider about the R.O.S.
Therapy System
If your elderly loved one suffers from Parkinson's disease,
Alzheimer's disease, or dementia and they are not already using the R.O.S. Therapy
System it is a great idea to ask their home care provider if they can
incorporate this therapeutic resource into your senior's care plan. This
particular form of therapy has shown positive results in numerous seniors, who
are able to experience a higher quality of life through its support.
The Home Care professionals at Always Best Care know that taking care of an elderly loved one is emotionally difficult. But with these tips, you can help your family better understand the illness and get the most out of the time they have with their loved one.
