Emotional Support

Emotional support is often overlooked in terms of rehabilitation and care. However, at Fairview Rehab and Nursing Home in Queens, NY, it is highly regarded. We aim to provide an all-around approach to caring for our patients here, from physical and medicinal therapies to psychological and emotional support.

Who needs emotional support?

While we believe all patients under our care need emotional support to some degree, it is clear that some require more than others. Due to the wide range of needs that we support, the level of support we provide is just as unique.

    Patients undergoing recovery and rehabilitation after particular types of trauma, such as amputation, require a lot of devoted emotional support. This is an extremely vulnerable time in a patient’s life and requires a helping hand mentally, not only physically. We aim to provide this essential support to all of our patients and recognize the individual’s needs.

    Stress management

    Stress and feeling a lack of control over one’s own life causes a great deal of worry. At Fairview, we recognize this and aim to dedicate individual emotional support to our patients as well as providing them with the facilities to manage their own stress levels.

    Alone time is very important to many individuals and we respect this greatly. However, we also work to provide a number of group activities and recreation activities for our patients to take part in.

    Exercise

    It is well known that exercise can boost the mood and be a fun way to meet and spend time with others. That’s why we have regular Zumba, aerobics and yoga classes for all levels.

    Those with mobility problems are encouraged to try gentle stretching classes and yoga. Residents with higher levels of fitness love the Zumba and aerobics or wheelchair aerobics classes. A brilliant way to release endorphins and spend time with others whilst calming the mind and reducing stress levels.
