HOME VISITS

We have been offering Home visits for the past 25 years and it has become an integral part of our rehabilitation service. We have reserved this service for the elderly, frail and those with a neurological disorder.

The benefits of a home visit:

 

  • Familiarity of surroundings reduces anxiety.

     

  • The stress of travelling for the frail and elderly is removed.

     

  •  We can gain a greater understanding of the problems you face every day such as difficulties when climbing your stairs, when getting in /out of your bed or walking in the community.

     

  • These problems can be addressed more effectively.

  • Individual homes
  • Nursing homes
  • Convalescent homes

Area of speciality

Our areas of speciality include:

We treat a variety of conditions from fractures, falls, arthritic joint/muscular pain, post-surgery, respiratory complaints, poor mobilisers and those with neurological disorders (see below). We combine ‘Hands On’ treatment with exercise rehabilitation to optimise recovery.

This clinical caseload is extremely varied but the most common conditions we manage are Stroke, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis, Head Injuries, Post brain and spinal surgery. This group invariably need assistance with their physical recovery and Neurophysiotherapy plays an integral role in rehabilitation and recovery. Given the complexity of cases and associated physical problems, management invariably involves close liaison with family, carers and other healthcare providers.

Our initial consultation includes a detailed history and physical examination to effectively treat your problem. Depending on the examination findings, management may include one or some of the following.

  • Hands on treatment

  • Provision of exercise regimes

  • Planned reviews to monitor progress/ prevent deterioration

  • Provision of equipment

  • Liaison with other professionals, carers and family
