What Is Bariatric Care?
Obesity is a serious health condition which can affect one’s health. It is linked to a long list of chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, to name a few.
Bariatric care specializes in the treatment, prevention and causes of obesity and focuses on those who have obesity by promoting weight loss and increase overall health with diet, exercise and behavior therapy.
Taking care of bariatric patients also presents unique challenges to insure they are handled with respect, dignity and comfort when it is necessary to move, treat and care for them. The physical condition and limitations of bariatric patients may limit their functional capabilities and can cause problems in relation to everyday activities such as personal hygiene procedures, moving back and forth between bed and chair, and toilet, etc. and repositioning in bed, armchair, wheelchair, etc. Paradigm’s Westfield Nursing Center community has invested in specialty crafted bariatric equipment to insure that the patient is comfortably managed when these activities and procedures are performed.
