Residential / Nursing Home Treatment

We offer assessment and treatment for those people in residential homes or nursing homes. The comprehensive 45-60 minute assessment will focus on muscle strength/ length/ tone, joint mobility, balance, vision and cognition. We will then proceed to relate the ability of an individual to the functional goals outlined by the patient (i.e. to walk with a stick), in discussion with the physiotherapist.

We can offer advice on walking aids, suitable chair/ bed equipment and functional aids. At the conclusion of the assessment we will give an impression of any rehabilitation potential and a plan on how to maximise improvement.

Commonly treated individuals within residential homes are those with deficits following a stroke; recovering from orthopaedic surgery or in need of rehabilitation following an illness.
