Physiotherapy for Care Homes – Enhancing Mobility, Wellbeing & Quality of Life
What is Physiotherapy for Care Homes?
Care home physiotherapy is an individualized rehabilitation service that caters to residents’ age-related conditions, long-term neurological conditions, and mobility impairments. Our trained physiotherapists attend care homes in person, offering regular, personalised care that helps residents maintain independence, reduce falls, manage pain, and stay active.
We work closely with Care Home staff, GPs, families and multidisciplinary teams to ensure an integrated and individualised care. Whether a resident needs a gentle movement practice, recovery after a fall, post -operative support, or after ongoing neurological rehabilitation, the service provides our high quality physiotherapy, where it is most necessary in the comfort and familiarity of the care of care.
