Abahlinzeki Bemfenisha Ephilayo Abadala be-Vacenti Group Australia

Ifenisha ekhethelwa amakhaya asebekhulile ngokuvamile idinga ukuba igxile kwasebekhulile, kucatshangelwa zonke izici zendlela yokunikeza izinsizakalo ezingcono kokubili asebekhulile nabasebenzi. Njengomkhiqizi ophezulu wefenisha ephilayo owasungulwa ngo-1998, Yumeya useke wasebenzela amaqembu amaningi adumile ahlala nabantu abadala. Kulesi sihloko, sizokwethula izixazululo zethu ngokuhlanganisa umphakathi wasekhaya lase-Vacenti e-Australia.

Embonini yokunakekela abantu abadala yase-Australia, i-Vacenti Group iyimodeli yokusebenza komndeni nokunakekelwa komuntu siqu. Basekela izimiso ezibalulekile ze “imfudumalo, ubuqotho, nenhlonipho,” ezinikele ekudaleni indawo yokuhlala ephephile, enethezekile, nehloniphekile yabantu abadala. Babeka ifilosofi yabo yokunakekela nxazonke “PERSON,” ukugcizelela ukunakekelwa komuntu siqu kanye nokwenza ngcono okuqhubekayo ukuze kuthuthukiswe ikhwalithi yokunakekelwa kanye nobuchwepheshe beqembu.

Yumeya Ukusebenzisana kuka-Vacenti no-Vacenti kwaqala ngo-2018, kwaqala ngokuhlinzekwa kwezihlalo zokudlela zabadala ekhaya labo lokuqala lomhlalaphansi, futhi kancane kancane kwanda ukufaka izihlalo zamagumbi okuphumula, amatafula okudlela nokunye. Njengoba uVacenti eqhubeka nokukhula futhi anda, ukusethemba kwabo kithi kuye kwajula—kuphrojekthi yabo yakamuva yekhaya lomhlalaphansi, ngisho nezimpahla zecala zenziwe yithi. Asibonanga nje kuphela ukukhula kukaVacenti kodwa futhi sihlonishwe ngokuba uzakwethu wesikhathi eside kanye nokukhetha okuthembekile kokuqinisekisa ikhwalithi.

Isihlalo sokuphumula sendawo yomphakathi I-Lorocco

I-Lorocco itholakala e-Carindale, e-Queensland, e-Australia, eduze ne-Bulimba Creek, endaweni ethule enemibhede engu-50, idala umoya ofudumele, ofana nomndeni. Ihlinzeka ngamasuite ekhwalithi ephezulu, ukunakekelwa kwewashi, kanye nezinsizakalo zokunakekela ezichwepheshile.

Ukunciphisa imizwa yesizungu kanye nokuzihlukanisa kusemqoka ekuthuthukisweni komphakathi wasekhaya labadala. Izakhamuzi esezikhulile zijoyina imiphakathi esebathatha umhlalaphansi ngenxa yezizathu ezehlukene, okwenza kubaluleke kakhulu ukukhuthaza umuzwa wokuba ngabangane. Imisebenzi yomphakathi idlala indima ebalulekile ekwakheni ukuxhumana phakathi kwezakhamuzi kanye nokuqeda isizungu. Ngokubamba iqhaza kumageyimu, ukubukwa kwamamuvi, noma imisebenzi yezandla, izakhamuzi zingahlanganyela, zabelane ngezipiliyoni, futhi zakhe ubungane.

Ngoba izindlu zomhlalaphansi , ifenisha engasindi inikeza izinzuzo eziningi ezindaweni zomphakathi. Okokuqala, kusiza ukusetha nokulungiswa kwansuku zonke, okuvumela ukunyakaza okusheshayo nokuhlelwa kabusha ngokwezidingo zomsebenzi, konga abanakekeli isikhathi nomzamo. Okwesibili, ukuhlanza nokunakekela kulula kakhulu, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi ukusetha ngaphambi kwemisebenzi noma ukuhlanza ngemva kwalokho, ukwenza imisebenzi ibe lula futhi kuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle. Ifenisha engasindi inciphisa ingozi yokulimala ngesikhathi sokunyakaza, iyenze iphephe futhi ifaneleke kakhulu ezindaweni ezinethrafikhi lapho izakhamuzi esezikhulile zihlangana khona njalo.

Kulo mklamo wesitayela somndeni, Yumeya incoma isihlalo segumbi lokuhlala okusanhlamvu sensimbi yabantu abadala i-YW5532 njengesixazululo sendawo evamile emakhaya asebekhulile. Ingaphandle ifana nokhuni oluqinile, kodwa ingaphakathi lenziwe ngohlaka lwensimbi. Njengedizayini yakudala, izindawo zokuhlala zengalo zipholishwa ngobunono ukuze zibe bushelelezi futhi ziyindilinga, zivumelane ngokwemvelo nokuma kwezandla kwemvelo. Ngisho noma umuntu osekhulile eshelela ngengozi, kuvimbela ngokuphumelelayo ukulimala, ukuqinisekisa ukuphepha ngesikhathi sokusetshenziswa. I-backrest ebanzi ilandela eduze ukugoba komhlane, ihlinzeka ngokusekela okwanele komgogodla, okwenza ukuhlala phansi nokuma kungabi namandla. Umcamelo wesihlalo wenziwe ngegwebu eliphezulu lokuminyana, ugcina ukwakheka kwawo ngisho nangemva kokusetshenziswa isikhathi eside. Yonke imininingwane yokuklama ibonisa ukuqonda okujulile kwezidingo zasebekhulile, okwenza isihlalo segumbi lokuphumula elikhulu singabi nje ifenisha kodwa sibe umngane ofudumele ekuphileni kwansuku zonke.  

Usofa oyedwa wabantu asebekhulile UMarebello

IMarebello ingesinye sezikhungo zokunakekela asebekhulile ezihamba phambili zeVacenti Group eQueensland, etholakala endaweni engamahektare ayisishiyagalombili enomhlaba eVictoria Point, enikeza indawo ezolile njengesikhumbuzo sendawo yokungcebeleka. Isikhungo izici 136–Amakamelo okuhlala anomoya opholile angu-138, iningi lawo elihlanganisa ovulandi noma amathala anikeza ukubukwa kwezingadi. Igumbi ngalinye lokuhlala lenziwe ngendlela oyifisayo ngokuvumelana nezithakazelo zabo siqu kanye nalokho abakuthandayo, okuhlanganisa ngempela ukwenziwa komuntu siqu nokunakekelwa okugxile kumuntu. Ukubambelela ezimisweni ze “Ukuguga Nokuphila” futhi “Ukunakekelwa Okugxilwe Kubahlali,” I-Marebello ayihlinzeki nje kuphela ngesipiliyoni sokuthatha umhlalaphansi esisezingeni eliphezulu, esinesithunzi, nesomuntu siqu kodwa futhi iqinisekisa ukuthi abantu abadala bayayizwa imfudumalo nomuzwa wokuba ikhaya kusukela osukwini lokuqala lokuhlala kwabo ngemininingwane ecatshangelwayo.

Ekudaleni indawo yokuhlala ephezulu, ifenisha yobudala iyingxenye ebalulekile. Ukusiza abantu abadala ukuthi bahlangane ngokwemvelo emkhathini womphakathi, idizayini yefenisha kufanele igqugquzelwe imvelo, ifake imibala ethambile, futhi yamukele izidingo ezingokwenyama nezingokwengqondo zabantu abadala abahlukahlukene, ikakhulukazi ukubhekana nezinkinga zokuzwela umbala kulabo abanokuwohloka komqondo.

Ngo-2025, sethula umqondo we-Elder Ease, okuhloswe ngawo ukuhlinzeka abadala ngesipiliyoni sokuphila ntofontofo kuyilapho kunciphisa umsebenzi wabanakekeli nabahlengikazi abanekhono. Ngokusekelwe kule filosofi, senze uchungechunge olusha lwefenisha yokunakekela asebekhulile—engasindi, ihlala isikhathi eside, ithwala umthwalo omkhulu, kulula ukuyihlanza, futhi ifaka ubuchwepheshe bezinhlamvu zokhuni lwensimbi ukuze kuzuzwe ukubonakala kokhuni nokuzwakalayo okuthintekayo, kuthuthukiswe ngokwengeziwe ubuhle kanye nekhwalithi ngaphezu kokusebenza. Uma kucatshangelwa ukuthi abantu abadala abangomahambanendlwana bachitha isilinganiso samahora angu-6 ngosuku behlezi ezihlalweni zokuhlala eziphezulu, kuyilapho labo abanemikhawulo yokuhamba bangase bachithe amahora angaphezu kwangu-12, sibeke phambili ukwesekwa okunethezekile kanye nomklamo wokufinyelela olula. Ngobude obufanele, izindawo zokuhlala eziklanywe ngendlela efanele, kanye nesakhiwo esizinzile, sisiza abantu abadala ukuba basukume noma bahlale phansi ngokuzikhandla, banciphise ukungaphatheki kahle komzimba, sithuthukise ukuzimisela kokuhamba kanye namakhono okuzinakekela, futhi sibenze baphile ukuphila okumatasa, ukuzethemba, futhi okunesithunzi.  

Okucatshangwayo Ngokukhetha Izihlalo Ikhaya Lokuhlala Labadala Nelokuthatha Umhlalaphansi  Amaphrojekthi

Ukuqinisekisa ukuthi izihlalo zokuhlala eziphezulu zifanele ukusetshenziswa kwabantu abadala, izilinganiso zangaphakathi kufanele zicatshangelwe. Lokhu kuhlanganisa ukuphakama kwesihlalo, ububanzi, nokujula, kanye nokuphakama kwe-backrest.

1. Idizayini Egxile Kwabadala

Ukukhetha izindwangu kubalulekile ekwakhiweni kwefenisha yabadala. Ezigulini ezinesifo sokuwohloka komqondo noma i-Alzheimer's, amaphethini acacile futhi abonakala kalula angazisiza ukukhomba indawo ezizungezile. Nokho, amaphethini angokoqobo angase abashukumisele ukuba bathinte noma babambe izinto, okuholela ekukhungathekeni noma ngisho nasekuziphatheni okungafanele lapho bengakwazi ukwenza kanjalo. Ngakho-ke, amaphethini adidayo kufanele agwenywe ukuze enze indawo yokuhlala efudumele nephephile.  

2. Ukusebenza okuphezulu  

Izakhamuzi esezikhulile ezihlala emakhaya asebekhulile nasemakhaya asebekhulile zinezidingo ezithile ezingokomzimba, futhi ukuhlangabezana nalezi zidingo kungaba nomthelela omuhle emoyeni nasempilweni yazo. Ukukhethwa kwefenisha yokuhlala ephezulu kufanele kusekelwe ekusizeni asebekhulile balondoloze ukuphila okuzimele isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka:

•   Izihlalo kufanele ziqine futhi zibe nezindawo zokubeka izingalo ezibambelelayo ukuze asebekhulile basukume futhi bahlale phansi ngokuzimela.

•   Izihlalo kufanele zibe namakhushini ezihlalo aqinile ukuze kube lula ukunyakaza okuzimele futhi zakhelwe ngesisekelo esivulekile sokuhlanza kalula.

•   Ifenisha akufanele ibe nemiphetho ebukhali noma amakhona ukuvimbela ukulimala.

• Izihlalo zokudlela zabantu asebekhulile kufanele zakhelwe ukuba zilingane ngaphansi kwamatafula, zibe nobude betafula obufanele ukusetshenziswa kwesihlalo sabakhubazekile, zikwazi ukubhekana nezidingo ezihlukahlukene zezakhamuzi esezikhulile.

3. Kulula ukuhlanza

Ukuhlanzeka kalula ekwakhiweni kwefenisha yabadala akukhona nje kuphela ngenhlanzeko engaphezulu kodwa kuthinta ngqo impilo yabantu asebekhulile kanye nokusebenza kahle kokunakekelwa. Ezindaweni ezisetshenziswa kakhulu, ukuchitheka, ukungakwazi ukuzithiba, noma ukungcoliswa ngengozi kungase kwenzeke. Uhlaka oluhlanzekile kanye ne-upholstery kungasusa ngokushesha amabala namagciwane, kunciphise izingozi zokutheleleka, futhi kunciphise umthwalo wokuhlanza kubasebenzi abanakekelayo. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, izinto ezinjalo zingaphinde zigcine ukubonakala nokusebenza kwefenisha, zandise impilo yayo yenkonzo futhi zinikeze izikhungo zokunakekela asebekhulile ulwazi oluphephile, olunethezekile, nolusebenzayo lokuphatha nsuku zonke.

4. Ukuzinza

Ukuzinza kubaluleke kakhulu ifenisha yokuhlala ephezulu umklamo. Uhlaka oluqinile lungavimbela ngokuphumelelayo ukuthinta noma ukunyakaziswa, luqinisekise ukuphepha kwasebekhulile lapho behlezi phansi noma besukuma. Uma kuqhathaniswa nefenisha ephilayo yokhuni oluqinile lwendabuko, esebenzisa izakhiwo ze-tenon, amafreyimu e-aluminium ashiselwe ngokugcwele anikeza umthamo ophezulu wokuthwala umthwalo nokuqina, alondoloze ukuzinza ngaphansi kokusetshenziswa isikhathi eside kwe-high-frequency kanye nokunciphisa ingozi yezingozi.

Eqinisweni, ukukhetha umphakeli wefenisha ephezulu ofanelekayo kuyinqubo edinga ukubambisana kwesikhathi eside kanye nokuqoqwa kokwethembana. Iqembu leVacenti likhethe Yumeya ngokuqondile ngenxa yokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu okubanzi kwephrojekthi, uhlelo lwesevisi oluvuthiwe, nokuzibophezela kwesikhathi eside ekuhambisaneni komkhiqizo kanye nekhwalithi yokulethwa. Kuphrojekthi yakamuva, u-Vacenti uthenge ifenisha eningi, futhi ukusebenzisana kwethu kuye kwasondelana kakhulu. Ngisho nefenisha efana nempahla ye-case ekhaya labo lomhlalaphansi elisanda kwakhiwa saphathiswa ukuthi siyikhiqize.

Yumeya  ineqembu elikhulu labadayisi kanye nethimba lezobuchwepheshe elichwepheshile, elinokuthuthukiswa okuqhubekayo kwezobuchwepheshe kanye nokusebenzisana namaqembu amaningi okunakekela asebekhulile awaziwayo. Lokhu kusho ukuthi ifenisha yethu inamathela ezindinganisweni eziqinile zokuklama, ukukhetha impahla, ukukhiqizwa, nokulawulwa kwekhwalithi, iqinisekisa ukuvumelana nokuthembeka komkhiqizo. Sinikeza iwaranti yohlaka lweminyaka eyi-10 kanye nomthamo omuhle kakhulu wesisindo esingamaphawundi angama-500, kanye nokwesekwa okuthembekile kwangemva kokuthengisa, okuqinisekisa ukuthula kwengqondo kuyo yonke inqubo yokuthenga nokusetshenziswa. Lokhu kufeza ngempela iziqinisekiso zesikhathi eside zokuphepha, ukuqina, kanye nekhwalithi ephezulu.
