Helping you recover using physiotherapy in the comfort of your home
FAQ - Your local questions
My mother is on Waterside Ward at Amersham Hospital. Can you take over when she comes home?
Yes, and it is a good moment to arrange it. Waterside and Chartridge at Amersham do focused rehabilitation work, and people often come home still improving rather than finished — the gap afterwards is where ground gets lost. Ring us while she is still in, tell us roughly when she is due out, and we will carry on the goals her therapy team have been working towards rather than starting again. We aim to get the first visit into that first week home rather than a fortnight later.
My father has started running his hand along the wall when he walks the landing. Is that worth a call?
Yes, and it is one of the clearest early signs there is. Reaching for the wall usually means balance has quietly dropped below what the house demands — and it tends to appear months before anybody falls. Nothing needs to have gone wrong for it to be worth an hour of assessment, and balance and leg strength both respond well while the walking is still happening. Waiting generally means waiting for a fall and an admission, and that costs months rather than weeks.
She was doing well and then had a chest infection and lost the lot. Can she get it back?
Usually a good deal of it, though more slowly than it went. A week or two of illness and bed rest costs an older person a surprising amount of muscle — the research shows someone in their late sixties losing more in ten days than a forty-year-old loses in a month. The good news is that what goes that way generally comes back with proper work. We would assess where she is now against what she could manage before, and be straight with you about how much of it we expect to recover.
Do you visit Old Amersham, Chesham Bois and Little Chalfont?
Yes — Old Amersham, Chesham Bois, Little Chalfont, Chalfont St Giles, Chesham and Penn. Amersham is our base for this corner of the Chilterns and the boundary is not a hard line on a map. A village address changes nothing about how long we stay or what we work on, and it is often where a home visit is worth most: the alternative is a drive and a car park before an appointment that has already used up the day. If you are further out, ring and ask.
She tells anyone official that she is absolutely fine. How do you get an honest picture?
By watching rather than asking. Almost everybody of that generation says they are fine, and they are not being dishonest — they genuinely do not want a fuss, and they have adjusted so gradually that the changes do not feel like changes. So we ask her to show us rather than tell us: get out of that chair, walk to the kitchen, manage the stairs. Five minutes of watching is worth an hour of questions, and it also means she is not being asked to admit anything.
Can you visit someone in a care home near Amersham?
Yes, and we work alongside the home rather than around it. We ask the manager first, keep staff informed and fit around mealtimes and personal care. Families most often ring when somebody has been doing steadily less since moving in — not because the home has failed them, but because somewhere everything is done for you is somewhere strength quietly goes. We leave written guidance so the work carries on between visits, and managers across the Chilterns are welcome to contact us directly.
The Home First team finished after four weeks and she still is not right. What happens now?
This is one of the most common points at which people ring us, and it is a sensible moment rather than a failure. Home First and similar services are short by design — a few weeks of intensive support to get somebody over the worst — and they end whether or not the recovery is complete. What tends to be left is the slower work: strength, confidence, and the specific things she still cannot do. We would find out what they were working on, take it forward, and stay while it is still making a difference.

Care homes in Amersham
Most of this work is arranged and paid for privately by families — a block of visits after a fall or a hospital stay, or ongoing work to keep someone moving. It sits alongside whatever the home already provides, and we work with their staff so the exercises carry on between our visits. You can read more about additional physiotherapy for residents.
