We love working with older adults and feel passionate about supporting people to maintain their independence. Having spent the last several years specialising in the care of older people in the NHS, we can see that services are limited, and people miss out on valuable rehabilitation which can improve their independence, reduce their risk of hospital admission/readmission and improve their quality of life – which is hopefully where we can come in!
Within a home setting, we make things as functional as possible using the things you have around your home. Struggling to get up the stairs? We’ll do therapy using your staircase. Have a goal to get outside to potter in the garden? We’ll work on that. Fearful about falling? We’ll do a complete personalised risk assessment based on your own environment and look at how we can modify your risk.
Your physiotherapist will come to your home at a prearranged time.
Prior to assessment there will be a form to sign consenting to assessment & treatment and agreeing to our terms & conditions.
It would be really helpful if you could provide any relevant information about your condition e.g. x-ray or scan reports, hospital discharge letters or letters from other health professionals, alongside a list of your current medication, to help us make an informed assessment.
We’ll then commence a full holistic assessment, where we will go through any past medical history and your current health. If falls prevention is indicated, we will go through an in-depth risk assessment.
From this we will chat through your goals and expectations and work together to form a treatment plan.
Treatments are fully tailored to each individual and their goals. It may include gait re-education, mobility progression, balance training, strength training, break down of functional activities and working on key elements, exercise prescription, soft tissue massage, sensory rehab, pre & post operative rehab. (This is not an exhaustive list!)
For infection control precautions, we will always sanitise our hands before each visit, work bare below the elbows (avoiding any watches or jewellery) and sanitise any equipment after each use. If a treatment requires it, we always carry disposable gloves and, although we don’t routinely wear them anymore, we always carry disposable face masks and are more than happy to wear them on request.
Fees/prices can be found here. Additional fees may be required for extended travel, report writing, referrals, consented contact with other professionals involved in your care or researching aids/adaptations or equipment that may benefit you. These will always be discussed and agreed with you before completion.
Our standard fees allow for a 5 mile radius of NG2 (for Helen) or DE75 (for Tracey) and Alice can cover Mapperley, Southwell or Retford and Michelle covers Rushcliffe, Clifton, Sneinton & The Meadows.
However, if we have capacity, we're more than happy to see clients further afield, at a charge of £3.00 per additional mile. Give us a call on 07578 212015 and we can work out who's best placed to see you and confirm if there will be any additional mileage.
