Physiotherapy, a vital part of care at the DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia temporary and long-term residence
Fully professionalized rehabilitation care for both short- and long-term stays at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia
DomusVi, one of Spain’s leading providers in the field of care homes, have recently opened a brand-new centre on the outskirts of the regional capital offering both long- and short-term stays which are enjoyable, safe and relaxing for both residents and, in the case of respite breaks, their regular carers.
One of the principles underlying the care provided at all DomusVi centres, including DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia, is that physiotherapy is an essential part of guaranteeing the well-being of all guests, and this is an aspect which experience shows is particularly highly-valued among non-Spaniards staying in the facilities. In fact, physio plays an important part not only in those who are recovering from illness or injury but also in maintaining basic fitness and mobility for all residents.
In terms of convalescence stays, staff at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia report that they are fully skilled and equipped to aid in the recovery of residents from long periods of inactivity which might be the result of surgery, injury, cardiovascular problems and a myriad of other potential causes. They have years of experience in such treating and caring for elderly people in need of rehabilitation, and fully recognize the need for mobility and activity in preventing the appearance of complications following surgery.
As with all aspects of the care provided at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia, personalized care is offered with the utmost professionalism, and therapy is always adaptable to ensure the quickest possible recovery in each individual case.
Specifically, the physiotherapy team at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia offer specialized care and state-of-the-art equipment for residents in the following circumstances:
- Rehabilitation following surgery
- Recovery from illness or disease
- Help in recovering basic functions and mobility following cardiovascular incidents
- Keeping high blood pressure and diabetes under control.
Physiotherapy procedures at DomusVi
As at all DomusVi centres in Spain, the first step in ensuring proper physiotherapeutic care at the Ciudad de Murcia residence is for the resident to undergo an initial assessment by the professional staff, whether her or she is recovering from heart problems, a broken bone, a fall or any other kind of incident. Following this initial evaluation an initial personalized plan of action is drawn up, although of course this plan can be modified to suit the progress of the individual at any point.
This plan of action takes into account not only purely physical aspects but also psychological and functional characteristics.
The staff at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia report that the design and sharing of this plan of action can actively help and accelerate the recovery process and optimize its results.
The physiotherapy programs at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia
All of the professionals at the Ciudad de Murcia residence subscribe to the view that their aims, having performed their initial diagnostic evaluation, are to design and implement programs which improve the residents’ quality of life.
They highlight that one of the most important aspects is the inclusion of preventative measures, reducing the risk of falls and discovering individuals’ needs for technical and even architectural modifications (such as ramps instead of steps). This, they say, is particularly important for residents who have been forced to spend long periods in bed.
At the same time, it goes without saying that one of the main objectives is the recovery and maintenance of functionality and physical independence, and in order to achieve this the techniques used include mechanotherapy, massage, thermotherapy, electrotherapy and others.
The role of physiotherapy
Experts unanimously agree that “physiotherapists have a key role in enabling older people to use a number of the body’s systems fully to enhance mobility and independence” (World Federation of Occupational Therapy), and DomusVi share the commitment to ensuring that residents maintain their autonomy and enjoy as active and healthy a lifestyle as possible.
Every effort is made to make the most of both long- and short-term strategies, such as avoiding pain, stiffness and muscular atrophy, reducing the effects of prolonged immobility and maintaining general mobility and balance, and this guarantees that DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia can provide a perfect environment for recovery programs for both long- and short-term residents.
For example, a temporary resident may be recovering from a procedure such as a hip replacement, and this requires special exercises to strengthen the muscles around the hip and, in a sense, learning to walk “properly” again in order to avoid complications during the recovery process.
This is only one example, but whatever the circumstances of any resident the highly qualified team at DomusVi Ciudad de Murcia can guarantee the very best in personalized attention, constructive and forward-thinking recovery programs and adaptation to the individual’s needs to make rehabilitation a pleasant and successful stage in life!

DomusVi is one of the longest-established and largest care home networks in Spain, having been offering top class facilities to residents for over 30 years and currently looking after more than 34,000 people either temporarily or on a permanent basis all over the country.
Each of their residences is designed, equipped and staffed in such a way as to guarantee comfortable and tranquil stays for residents, with personalized attention leading them to enjoy an active and sociable environment in what they soon consider to be their home.
The care offered at DomusVi nursing homes is comprehensive. This sense of emotional wellbeing is backed up by the guarantee of physical wellbeing, with safety, security and medical care being given the utmost importance. Therapies and activities are scheduled both to promote autonomy and the maintenance of the person’s abilities and to improve their physical and emotional state. This is possible thanks to the committed and dedicated professional teams who work on it.
That they can offer this personalized attention from the very first day is due to the thorough initial assessment of each new resident before their arrival, taking into account not only their physical needs but also their personal preferences, from hobbies to eating habits. Once residents see that they are treated in this way, they quickly adapt to the friendly family environment – this fact makes it possible for them to feel at home but with added comforts and luxuries such as a hairdresser, a swimming pool and a wider social circle!
The new DomusVi centre in the city of Murcia is located right opposite the “Palacio de Justicia” (the modern provincial court building) in one of the most attractive parts of the city, and with views looking out towards the mountains and the countryside of the “Huerta”. It’s location close to the inner and outer ring roads on the eastern side of the city make it easily accessible by car, and parking is generally easy close by, making it easy for visitors to pop in and visit their loved ones.
And at all DomusVi centres there are staff who speak English!
