Care for elderly expats at the Caser Residencial Santo Angel International Unit
Caser Residencial Santo Ángel in central Murcia has a specialist International Unit that caters specifically to the needs of ageing expats and their families
Caser Residencial Santo Ángel is a nursing home located in central Murcia that has many specialist units, including a dedicated Dementia Unit, a Neurorehabilitation department to improve the quality of life for people who suffer from brain damage and a Psychogeriatrics ward, among others.
But perhaps what marks this retirement home out from the many others in the Region of Murcia is its International Unit – an entire wing that is dedicated to hospice care for elderly and retired people who have migrated to Spain.
Whether it’s because they don’t speak good Spanish or because conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease have meant they cannot receive the level of care they require in Spanish, or simply because they feel more comfortable in an environment where their own language is spoken… there are many reasons why the residents and day-centre patients choose the International Unit at Caser Residencial Santo Ángel for their care home needs, and the friendly and professional staff welcome them all and make them feel at home.
There is a wide variety of types of stays in the International Unit, with patients able to stay either on a permanent or a temporary basis; for post-hospital, traumatological or neurological recovery; or simply to give their primary caregiver or family some respite from the demands of home care. But they all have one thing in common: they are all in good hands.
What is the International Unit like?
The International Unit at Caser Residencial Santo Ángel nursing home is a self-contained unit consisting of nine separate double apartments, each of which has a bedroom with a double, its own dining room and living room, a kitchen and a specially adapted bathroom.There is also a common room where guests and residents can chat, interact and eat their meals in a lively, communal environment that stimulates their sociability. It is full-board and comes with a daily cleaning and laundry service, to make sure all guests are cared for to the highest standard.
Patients can benefit from the medical and nursing service seven days a week, and the auxiliary service 24 hours a day. The specialist care, assistance and hospitality services at the International Unit also consists of a pharmacy with medication control and prescription management.Included in the services offered by the International Unit are all the same specialisms as the Spanish service, including collective physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, social work, sociocultural animation, plus psychological and psychiatric assistance.
But they also have special services just for expats that go above and beyond what is available for Spaniards:
- English-speaking staff
