To reduce the risk of people becoming frailer in hospital, Nova Scotia Health’s Frailty and Elder Care Network is taking steps to enhance how we deliver services to seniors and support them in aging well through initiatives such as our Early Mobility Program.
Participants in the Early Mobility Program receive daily visits from a member of our mobility team to increase their physical activity (e.g. walking) to help them get better faster. The target is for the patient to move at least 2x per day. The level of activity depends on the health status of the patient. Mobility assistants include recreation therapy associates and rehab assistants which are a vital part of a patient’s circle of care. It is also important to move with your nurse, family member or on your own.
