In fancy terms it means "treatments and therapies provided to a patient where the aim is to enhance the patient's independence, confidence and strength."
The team at Meraki lead with the heart and provide unique, individualized care. Sometimes, something as seemingly small as sitting down and having lunch with the individual, is more therapeutic than one may expect.
