More Autonomy, Less Risk: The Impact of the Restraint-Free Model of Care.

The practice of restraining elderly or disabled people, once common in many care centers, is being challenged and replaced by a more humane and respectful approach. GSR, a member of the MONDRAGON Health alliance, is committed to the implementation of the Libera Ger methodology, a model of care without restraints that significantly improves the quality of life of users, prioritizing their autonomy, dignity and well-being.

Why care without restraint?

The answer is simple: because no one wants to feel restrained. Physical restraints, in addition to violating the dignity of the person, can cause a series of negative consequences both physically and psychologically.

Benefits for the user:

By eliminating restraints, we achieve:

• Improve their physical health: reducing the risk of falls, pressure ulcers and other injuries, and promoting mobility and muscle tone.
• Enrich their emotional well-being: reducing anxiety, aggression and depression, and fostering a sense of security and peace of mind.
• Preserving their dignity and autonomy: enabling them to actively participate in their care and make decisions about their lives.

Benefits for professionals:

• A safer working environment: by reducing the risk of injury for both professionals and users.
• Increased job satisfaction: by being able to provide more personalized and humane care.
• Continuous professional development: by acquiring new skills and knowledge in the field of restraint-free care.

In summary,

The restraint-free model of care is much more than a trend. It is a commitment to quality care, centered on the person and based on respect for their rights. It is the path to a more humane and dignified future for everyone. Discover more services and technologies for the biohealth sector.
