Happy World Patient Safety Day!

At Nurture Health, we are committed to creating safe environments for all our patients. To support this, we’ve launched our Fall Prevention campaign, “Within Arm’s Reach,” which emphasizes the importance of preventing falls through simple, consistent actions.

The campaign focuses on three key points:
• Staying alert
• Checking the environment
• Remaining close to the patient

By following these steps, we greatly reduce the risk of patient falls and continue building

At our hospitals, patient safety isn’t merely a day; it’s our everyday

With a philosophy rooted in compassionate care, we have remained committed to providing patients with a supportive, caring, and, most importantly, a safe environment for healing.

This day, as we celebrate Patient Safety Day, we also acknowledge the importance of raising awareness about safety in healthcare, because every patient deserves to heal in a space where they feel respected and secure.

This Rehabilitation Week, we’d love to share some powerful facts about how physical rehabilitation can improve lives:

• Physical rehabilitation supports healthy ageing and significantly improves quality of life.

• Occupational therapy helps patients regain independence in daily movements and allows them to take back control of their lives.

Physiotherapy can sometimes feel daunting, and there’s a lot of misinformation out there that may discourage people from taking part. One of the biggest myths is that strength training isn’t for older adults. This is completely false — in fact, building strength as you age is one of the best ways to stay mobile, independent, and resilient.

Today, we’re debunking some of the most common physiotherapy myths so you can feel empowered to take the next step toward better health.

Remember, your best bet for recovery and strength is with a tailor-made physiotherapy plan to suit your particular needs.

Happy World Physiotherapy Day!

Today, we celebrate physiotherapists worldwide and the vital role they play in helping us stay mobile, strong, and independent.

Mobility is key to healthy ageing — being active not only builds strength but also reduces falls and frailty as we grow older. With the global population aged 60+ projected to nearly double from 1 billion in 2019 to almost 2 billion by 2025, staying active has never been more important.

Healthy ageing activities include:
• Staying active daily
• Challenging your balance
• Eating well
• Building connections with others

Did you know that growing older does not necessarily lead to slowing down? The year’s theme for Physiotherapy Day this year is healthy ageing, which shines a light on the importance of staying active and continuing to do what you value.

Here at our hospitals, physical activity is the cornerstone of care, as this ensures maintained mobility, prevents falls, and allows our patients to lead meaningful lives.

Join us in celebrating our special physical therapists, who commit to providing compassionate care - helping every patient move through life confidently!

For far too long, the importance of mental health has gone unnoticed, and this month, we are breaking the stigma. Our caring staff have seen it time and time again: mental health shapes physical healing at every step. It is not a side issue. It is central to recovery.

At Nurture Health, we know healing happens best when people feel connected and supported. That’s why our visiting policy is flexible — to allow families to be present when it matters most.

Flexible visiting has been shown to reduce anxiety, improve recovery, and keep loved ones meaningfully involved. We also understand that life gets busy — and we want to reassure you: if you can’t visit, that’s okay. A simple message or call can still make a world of difference.

What do we love about physical rehabilitation? Preparing patients for real life.

While this may look like just a kitchen, it’s been carefully designed to help patients practice the everyday skills that make home feel like home again — from preparing a simple breakfast to safely using kitchen tools.

By helping patients master real-life tasks before discharge, we ensure they leave not just stronger, but confident and ready for independence.

It’s how we bridge the gap between hospital and home.
