About home

ALZHEIMER HOME Loucký Mlýn is situated in a picturesque landscape on the banks of the Blanice River, near the town of Vodňany. The complex will enchant you with its rural style and beautiful environment, which reminds clients of their youth and at the same time meets the requirements for care and needs of people with dementia. The building includes a large terrace for sitting and a forest, used for walks and leisure activities.

 

Healthcare

Our clients are provided with quality health services covering basic specialties that help to optimally diagnose and treat all common health problems and prevent them. There is a well-equipped medical department. Wherever possible and practical, clients are thus provided with examinations and outpatient treatment directly at the facility. Our collaborators are top specialists in general practice, psychiatry or other fields. We have a sophisticated system of medical visits and regular preventive checks of the mental and physical condition of our clients. Thanks to this, we are able to catch any change in health status and immediately adjust the medical, nursing and dietary regimen.

ALZHEIMER HOME is part of the Penta Hospitals group. Penta Hospitals operates a network of hospitals and specialist outpatient clinics in the Czech Republic and it is our natural intention to offer our clients and families better and more comprehensive healthcare services in the future with this unique combination. It is for this reason that Ambulance Penta s.r.o. (from the Penta Hospitals group) is gradually becoming a new healthcare provider in our facilities in the field of general general practice and in selected areas of specialised outpatient care.

 

Complete equipment of all rooms

Our clients are accommodated in a pleasant home-like environment in double to triple rooms with private bathroom. All rooms are fully equipped, however we offer the possibility of their own retrofitting. The whole area is fully wheelchair accessible.

Activation activities

Being active is important at any age. We engage our clients daily in a range of activities that are tailored to each individual. Knowing our clients' habits, interests and personal needs helps us to tailor a mix of activities to make their day enjoyable and enjoyable. Our trained staff use a variety of methods and ways of approaching and communicating with the client using basal stimulation and elements of validation.

The cornerstones of the activation activities are reminiscence therapy, memory training and music therapy. Specially equipped rooms for therapeutic gymnastics, fine and gross motor exercises, therapeutic cooking and baking, occupational therapy and projection are also used for activation. In addition, Ditushka the dog and the cat live with us in the complex and take proper care of the daily pet therapy.

We don't close ourselves off from the world - quite the opposite: we visit exhibitions, cinema, masses, a pastry shop and a ceramics workshop, we organize trips and cultural events. We have accordionists and other musicians, dance performances, regular church services, and visits from children from the kindergarten.

  • Dear Director, I would like to give you feedback on the services of the Alzheimer Home in Loucký mlýn, where my grandmother stayed from 1.9.2022 until yesterday. My grandmother contracted tick-borne meningoencephalitis in the summer - her condition was serious and the consequences difficult to predict. I would start with the environment first, which is very nice, cosy and above all CLEAN. With the level of intensity of client care, maintaining cleanliness is another very challenging part of the job - at least from my perspective. On every visit I have witnessed how the nurses, caregivers and other staff are completely natural around the clients and interact with them in a very open, professional, yet friendly manner. Whenever I visited my grandmother, I was greeted really nicely and there was never a problem with how long I stayed (I was always given refreshments and also privacy for time with my grandmother). The nurses were always very helpful and answered my (perhaps sometimes very frequent and challenging) questions. This was regardless of whether I was present in the home in person or called at any hour - the phone never rang for long and to my surprise, there was always a pleasant greeting followed by patient answers to my questions. In the case of taking my grandmother home for weekends, everything was carefully and properly prepared. My grandmother felt useful, understood, catered for despite the health burdens in the house. Every time we took her home for the weekends she would tell us about how she had a laugh with which nurse/carer, what had happened. She was happy with the attitude of the staff, she had a very nice relationship with all of them - however, she liked Mrs. Helen and Adele the most (that's how my grandmother refers to them). She was also happy with the food and it is important from my point of view to appreciate the staff who are not directly in contact with the clients, but who contribute significantly to their satisfaction. Yesterday we picked my grandmother up and took her into home care. Thanks in part to the care provided by the staff at this home, my grandmother has improved enough to be able to be with us at home. I could easily tell that my grandmother was happy and had developed a close relationship with the staff - she couldn't stop the tears from falling as she left and said a heartfelt goodbye to the staff. I think it is very important to give you feedback on the staff who work in this home and do their job 110 percent. It is a very demanding job and I sincerely admire everyone who does such a job. I have a degree in special education (from childhood to senior age) and therefore have comparisons of this work from various work experiences. I would love for this email to reach not only you, but also the staff who cared for one of my most important people with love, respect and humility. It has been a difficult time for our family and I thank you all for helping us through it. I wish you all happy and wonderful days.
    M.K.
