Homecare rehabilitation
When getting to us is the hard part, we come to you.
Some people cannot travel to a clinic yet, and waiting until they can is time lost. Homecare brings assessment, therapy and a proper rehabilitation plan into the room where recovery actually happens: the patient's own home, with the family who supports them present.
Rehabilitation where life is lived.
The homecare journey
Six steps, in the same order, every time.
You should always know where you are in your own recovery. This is the path a homecare patient follows with us, from the first request to the review that decides what happens next.
-
Step 1
Book
You send a request. We call you back to understand the situation and agree a home visit.
-
Step 2
Assess
A clinician examines the patient at home and looks at the home itself: stairs, bathroom, bed, chair.
-
Step 3
Personalise
Goals chosen by the patient and family become a written plan, in ordinary language.
-
Step 4
Rehabilitate
Hands-on therapy and supervised exercise during visits, with work to continue between them.
-
Step 5
Track
The same measures repeated over time, so progress is something you can see rather than guess at.
-
Step 6
Review
We reassess, adjust the plan, step down the visits, or move care to the centre when travel becomes possible.
Who qualifies
Homecare is for people the journey itself would set back.
It is not a shortcut around clinic care, and it is not for everyone. We assess each request and tell you honestly whether home is the right place for the work, or whether the centre would serve the patient better.
Request homecare assessment-
Travel is unsafe or exhausting
The trip to the clinic costs more than the session gives back, because of pain, fatigue, dizziness or the risk of a fall on the way.
-
Mobility is severely limited
The patient cannot walk far, cannot manage stairs or a vehicle, or needs two people to move safely.
-
Recently discharged from hospital
The early weeks at home after a hospital stay, when the ward routine ends and the family is suddenly managing alone.
-
Bed-bound or chair-bound for now
Where the first goal is sitting, standing and transferring safely before anything else can begin.
-
Older adults who need care at home
Where the home environment and the people in it are part of the treatment, not a detail around it.
-
The family is doing the daily care
When a relative or caregiver carries the routine, teaching them properly, in their own home, changes the outcome.
Conditions commonly supported
What homecare is usually asked for.
These are the kinds of situations families contact us about. If what you are facing is not listed, ask anyway: we will tell you whether we can help or point you to who can.
-
Stroke and neurological conditions
Regaining movement, balance, transfers and independence in daily tasks after a stroke or other neurological injury.
-
After surgery
Recovery following orthopaedic and other surgery, where getting moving safely at home is the first priority.
-
Fractures and injury
Rebuilding strength, movement and confidence once a fracture or injury is medically stable.
-
Reduced mobility and falls
Balance, strength and safe walking for people who have fallen or are afraid of falling at home.
-
Back, neck and joint pain
Persistent pain that limits standing, sitting, sleeping or ordinary work around the house.
-
Long-term conditions affecting movement
Ongoing conditions where the aim is to hold on to function, independence and participation for as long as possible.
If someone is seriously unwell or newly injured, they need medical care first. Rehabilitation comes after the person is medically safe.
How homecare works
The practical side of it.
No equipment to buy, no room to convert. We work with the home as it is and tell you if anything simple would make it safer.
-
1
You request an assessment
Send the form on this page, or message us on WhatsApp. Tell us where the patient lives and what has happened.
-
2
We call you back
A short conversation to understand the case, confirm homecare is appropriate, and agree a day and time.
-
3
A clinician visits
The first visit is an assessment. Please have someone who helps with daily care present if you can.
-
4
Visits continue on a plan
How often and for how long depends on the assessment, and it is reviewed rather than fixed at the start.
The first visit
What happens when we arrive.
Expect around an hour, mostly spent listening, examining and explaining. You should be able to say in your own words what the plan is before we leave.
-
Assessment
History, examination and movement, plus a look at the home itself: the bed, the chair, the bathroom, the steps and the walking route through the house.
-
Treatment
Hands-on therapy chosen for what the assessment found, started on the same visit where it is safe and useful to do so.
-
Exercise prescription
A small number of exercises that matter, taught and practised with the patient, using what the house already has rather than equipment you must buy.
-
Caregiver education
The person who helps every day is taught how to assist safely: transfers, positioning, walking support, and what to avoid. This is part of the treatment, not an extra.
-
Progress tracking
Baseline measures recorded at the first visit and repeated as care goes on, so change is measured against where the patient actually started.
-
Follow-up
The next visit is agreed before we leave, along with what to do in between and who to contact if something changes.
The family is taught, not just the patient.
Request homecare assessment
Tell us about the patient and where they are. We will call you back to talk it through and, if homecare is right, agree a first visit.
Thank you. Your request is with us.
We have received your homecare request and we will call you back to talk it through. Replies come from our team during opening hours, Monday to Saturday, 8am to 6pm.
