What Does Physiotherapy in Care Homes Involve?
We provide dedicated physiotherapy services within care homes, supporting residents with personalised treatment plans designed to enhance mobility, manage pain and improve overall wellbeing.
Our experienced physiotherapists work closely with care home staff, residents, families and healthcare teams to deliver safe and effective physiotherapy in a familiar environment.

What does a physiotherapy assessment involve?
We conduct a thorough and personalised evaluation aimed at understanding your physical abilities, challenges, and safety within your home or living environment. It typically includes reviewing medical history, observing movement, assessing strength, balance and mobility and checking for home safety risks. The goal is to create a tailored treatment plan that promotes independence, reduces the risk of falls, manages pain, and enhances overall quality of life.
Here’s what it usually involves:
Medical & Personal History Review
Observation
Physical Assessment

This type of assessment is especially valuable for the elderly who have difficulty traveling or prefer to remain in a the familiar setting of their care home.

What our clients are saying
We thoroughly recommend Lizzi as an empathetic, skilful physiotherapist and would have no hesitation in calling on her services again.
After a 7 week stay in hospital, my Mum who has advanced dementia, sadly lost the ability to walk. Upon discharge we had to move her into a Nursing home but were determined to do everything we could to rehabilitate her and give her back quality of life. Lizzi came to us highly recommended and right from day 1 she made such a positive impact. She engaged Mum with sensitivity, patience and kindness and also showed a demonstrable understanding of dementia and quickly built a rapport with not only Mum but us as a family - involving us in her treatment sessions. For a couple of sessions she also brought her colleague, Jason, to support in some stand-aid activities and every step of the way, consulted us and discussed options and the practical realities and constraints of a patient with dementia. A true professional, it was a pleasure to work with Lizzi and we are very grateful for the support she gave us.
