PZC Dordrecht, Crabbehoven offers intensive care and treatment in the field of long-term intensive neurorehabilitation (LIN) and acquired brain injury (ABI).
If people show small progress, we will move forward together. Where others give up, we continue.
LIN
In the LIN department, we offer care to people with a long-term disorder of consciousness after a coma. Our goal? With a multidisciplinary coordinated care and treatment program and active commitment of informal caregivers, to practice and 'stimulate' the client in a low-conscious state in such a way that this may result in a higher level of awareness/alertness.
How do we do this?
We offer medically stable clients who are in a low-conscious state intensive clinical rehabilitation care. This is aimed at achieving a higher level of alertness. We do this with a multidisciplinary team led by a geriatric specialist. The team consists of a nurse, caregiver, psychologist, physiotherapist and occupational therapist, speech therapist, dietician, movement therapist and a music therapist. We work according to the care program 'long-term intensive neurorehabilitation for patients with a long-term disorder of consciousness'. A WLZ indication for self-employed persons 8 is required.
Intensive cooperation between informal caregivers
Together with informal caregivers, we combine wishes and expectations with the necessary care and treatment. Thanks to the small scale of the department (maximum eight people), contact between peers is self-evident.
Acquired brain injury (ABI)
A group of fourteen residents lives in the Moorhen department. It is a residential group with a stimulating living environment with daily structure and possibly training aimed at independence or assisted living. As a result of brain injury, clients have behavioral changes or behavioral problems that can pose a risk to themselves or the living environment.
Self-direction is paramount
This means that everyone, in consultation, interprets their own life as they are used to and finds important. We want to make our residents feel at home as much as possible. They are free to be who they are and feel of value.
We value a daily structure that fits in with a work-related interpretation. There is daytime activity in which the concept of work is central. With work we give structure to the day. And it gives someone the opportunity to develop further.
ABI with complex care
Ten residents stay in the ward (Cypres) where ABI has acquired a chronic character or has a character with progressive deterioration. The emphasis is on responsible care with warm guidance, focused on well-being and meaning. It's about stay and comfort, not about recovery or rehabilitation. The client's wishes are leading, the day is filled and you enjoy it. With as much self-direction as possible.
