There’s a new aged care facility in town, but you would not recognize it from the facade. On the outside, the building looks like a hotel!
That’s part of Genesis’s philosophy as described by its co-founder, Dr. Sue Ling. “Our residents need to feel happy about the place they live in every day”. She added that its residents experience a renewed sense of dignity being in a conducive environment.
Working out of hotels, they hope to remove the stigma attached to sending relatives to care homes. This is important when caring for them at home is no longer an option. “We’ve created a place that our residents can feel at home in. Their families can rest easy knowing that their loved ones are in good hands”, said ceo Dr. Lyndon Thomas.
“We allow our residents to customize their living spaces by picking and choosing their environment. From choosing the colors of their walls and relocating furniture, we go to great lengths to give them a sense of belonging to their surrounding”, he added. “We want our residents to make this their home and we’re working within the facility to provide them with whatever they need”.
The services within the facility are operated by doctors and qualified nurses. All the meal are planned by Genesis’s resident nutritionist. This ensures that the nutrition of all its residents are optimal. A resident psychologist, physiotherapist, and a range of other healthcare professionals also supports its service offerings.
The rooms in Genesis all come complete with a tv, en-suite baths and air-conditioning. Additionally, residents have nurse call buttons conveniently placed by their bed side. This allows them to request for help when required. A resident doctor is available on premises every day. This ensures all its residents medical needs attended to.
Dr. Sue explains, “at full capacity, Genesis is capable of accommodating up to 100 residents. We are reaching full capacity in Klang due to our very affordable pricing options. We cost less then what it would to house your loved ones within a bungalow type old folks home. Here, you have access to a full complement of medical professional services”.
