Before my first day

My placement is at Aegis in bicton. It is a high level care residential facility. The patients will each have their own rooms with bathroom facilities. Some of the impairments i am expecting to see are; decreased mobility, balance, strength, proprioreception and transfers. As this is a transitional aged care facility, i am expecting the focus of the treatment to be based upon function and return to the community. I am hoping there will be an opportunity to take an excercise group wlist i am there. I am looking forward to gaining practical experience in both assessement and treatment of both gait and balance. I expect the multi discilpinary team to work and collaborate together. I am looking forward to be able to liase with the different health professionals and experience the wholistic approach of working with residents of whom i can see progress and regain function over my time spent there on prac.
