Care & Nursing Home Physiotherapy
Our qualified physiotherapists are trained and well experienced in working with residents and carers in care homes. We will work with you, your family and carers to help optimise your function, improve your well-being, regain your strength and maximise your independence. We can help with mobility and exercise training for carers as required and are able to provide tailored exercise programmes to suit each individual to achieve maximum benefits.
How we can help-
Mobility- We provide mobility assessments and will prescribe suitable exercise programmes to help you improve your mobility or help you to remain mobile. We are able to work with your carers and families to provide a tailored treatment and exercise plan to you and your carers to work through. We can help maintain independence and immobility.
Balance- We can assess your balance and work with you and your carers to provide an individualised exercise programme to address areas of concern and help you to become steadier on your feet.
Falls- We can provide a falls risk assessment and provide help and advice with falls management and prevention. If you have had a fall (or more) or are at risk of falling we can help to reduce your falls risk by providing a suitable strength and balance exercise programme as well as aiming to improve your confidence and reduce fear of falling.
Equipment assessment- We can find the right equipment for you and assist you with a suitable walking aid.
Recovery and rehabilitation- If you have been unwell, had a fracture, injury, have recently come out of hospital, or have started to decline in your strength and movement, we can help you to regain strength and independence and get you stronger on your feet again.
Holistic approach- We like to address all aspects of someone’s health which helps us to provide the highest quality of care and achieve the best possible outcomes.
Physiotherapy can have huge benefits in enhancing quality of life, improving mental well-being and minimising functional decline. We aim to keep you as strong as possible helping to prevent hospital admission and dependence on carers. Regular exercises are recommended by the NHS to help reduce the risk of major illness including heart disease, stroke, bowel and breast cancer, osteoarthritis, depression, dementia as well as reducing the risk of falls. It can also lower the risk of early death by 30%.
Our physios can help you remain mobile (or can help to improve mobility if moving is difficult), take you outside (if appropriate) and work on outdoor mobility and movement. We can also complete exercises outside and try to make exercises as fun and engaging as possible. We will support you to improve your confidence, aiming to get you as fit and strong as we can.
