What is Senior Rehabilitation? (65+ years)

Senior Rehabilitation is a comprehensive, multidisciplinary service designed to help older adults maintain independence, mobility, strength, and overall quality of life. At Argan Riaya Specialized Hospital in Kuwait, we recognize that as we age, medical conditions, injuries, surgery, and age-related changes can affect physical function, cognition, communication, swallowing, and daily activities. Our multidisciplinary team works closely with older adults and their families to provide individualized, evidence-based rehabilitation programs that promote healthy aging, reduce disability, and support safe, independent living. Our goal is to help every person achieve the highest possible level of function and well-being.

Senior rehabilitation at Argan Riaya is medical care, not residential care. Our goal in every case is to help you or your loved one recover function and return home, to family, independence and daily life, with the shortest safe course of treatment rather than a long-term stay.

  • Hydrotherapy sessions to practise movement with less load on the joints
  • Advice on walking aids and orthoses
  • Home safety guidance for you and your family
