Regular physical activities like swimming, using the gym, and walking help maintain mobility, improve cardiovascular health, and reduce the risk of chronic conditions such as arthritis and osteoporosis. Social events and group activities combat loneliness and support mental health by fostering community and friendship.

Accessing these resources encourages a proactive approach to health, helping to prevent illness and promote independence. By combining physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social engagement, Ciudad Patricia creates a supportive environment where residents can maintain a healthy and active lifestyle while receiving guidance on key aspects of preventative care.

Maintaing Your Health

Regular check-ups with your doctor or optician are essential for maintaining a healthy and independent lifestyle, especially as we age. Routine medical visits help detect potential health issues early, allowing for timely treatment and better outcomes. Eye exams are equally important, ensuring vision remains clear and addressing age-related changes that could impact daily living.

At Ciudad Patricia, residents benefit from easy access to healthcare with an on-resort doctor as well a regular visits from opticians to do eye checks.

Whether feeling unwell or simply needing a prescription renewal, residents can promptly consult with the doctor, ensuring timely medical attention and continuity of personal care.

Emergencies

Let’s face it, in our senior years, the chance of a having an emergency medical event increases greatly. Older adults, face a higher risk of experiencing medical emergencies at home compared to younger individuals. This increased risk is due to factors such as chronic health conditions, decreased mobility, and age-related physiological changes. For instance, research shows unintentional falls are a significant concern among seniors, with one in four older adults falling each year.

24/7 Emergency Response

At Ciudad Patricia, there is a 24/7 emergency response protocol that means that no matter when, if you have a medical emergency you can call a responsible member of staff – usually the Resident’s Manager – who will endure you get the required medical attention as soon as possible. As already explained, unintentional falls are a major concern, and Ciudad Patricia’s emergency call button system means that if you do have a fall, you will be attended to straight away.

On-site Defibrilator

Having a defibrillator in an independent senior resort like Ciudad Patricia provides a crucial safety measure that can save lives during cardiac emergencies. In the event of sudden cardiac arrest, quick access to a defibrillator significantly increases the chances of survival by restoring a normal heart rhythm. This life-saving device is installed in the Central Building and offers peace of mind to residents and their families, knowing that emergency support is readily available. In a senior community, where heart-related health risks are more common, having a defibrillator on-site ensures rapid response while waiting for medical professionals. It reflects Ciudad Patricia’s commitment to resident well-being, providing a safer and more secure living environment.
