FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my mother come home from Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital?
Yes, and it is worth ringing before she is discharged rather than after. We take referrals straight from families, so there is no GP letter to get and no list to join. The hospital will have got her to a standard that works on a ward — flat floors, handrails, somebody within calling distance. Home asks different questions: her own stairs, the step at the back door, getting off her own settee rather than a hospital chair. Tell us the date when you have it and we will book into that first week back, which is when most ground is lost.
My mother has stopped cooking and lives on toast and tea. Is that anything to do with physiotherapy?
More than you would think, and it is worth mentioning when you ring. Muscle is lost steadily with age anyway, and poor appetite or a diet with very little protein in it accelerates that sharply — you cannot rebuild strength from toast. It also usually means standing at the worktop has become an effort, which is a mobility problem hiding inside a food problem. We assess the strength and work on it properly, and if nutrition looks like the larger half we will say so plainly and point you towards the right help.
A professional told us he would not manage at home again. Is it worth a second look?
Usually yes, and we will give you a straight answer rather than an encouraging one. A judgement like that is made about how somebody was on a particular day, in a particular place, often at their worst. Circumstances change — pain gets controlled, an infection clears, confidence comes back. In our experience the commoner reason a goal was not reached is time rather than impossibility. We would assess him properly and tell you honestly what we think, including if our view is that the earlier judgement was right.
Do you visit Old Basing, Oakley and the villages around Basingstoke?
Yes — Old Basing, Oakley, Overton, Whitchurch, Bramley and the lanes between them. Basingstoke is our hub for this part of Hampshire and the boundary is not a line on a map. A village address does not change how long we stay or what we work on, and it is usually where a home visit is worth most: the alternative is a relative driving somebody in and finding somewhere to park before an appointment that uses up the day. If you are further out, ring and ask rather than ruling yourself out.
He was sent home with a sheet of exercises and never did one of them. Why would this be different?
Because we do them with him rather than leaving them behind. A printed sheet asks somebody to be their own physiotherapist — to remember it, judge whether they are doing it right, and push themselves without anybody watching. Very few people manage that, and it is not a character failing. We work through the movements in the room, correct them as we go, change them as he improves, and build the important ones into things he already does, so progress does not depend on him remembering a programme after we have gone.
Her care home says she is too frail for physiotherapy. Is that right?
Sometimes, and often not — it is worth finding out properly rather than taking it as settled. Frailty is not an inevitable part of ageing: that is the British Geriatrics Society’s own position, and they are clear that strengthening work can prevent it and in some cases reverse it. Being frail is usually a reason for careful physiotherapy rather than none. We would assess her, discuss it with the home, and be honest if we agree that active rehabilitation is not the right thing for her now.
My brother and I disagree about what she needs. Can you help us work it out?
We can give you something factual to disagree about, which usually helps more than another opinion. Families often split between the one who sees her daily and the one who visits occasionally and notices the change, and both are seeing something real. We assess what she can actually do — how far she walks, how she gets out of a chair, what she manages alone — and say plainly what we think is achievable. That tends to move the conversation from whose impression is right to what the two of you want to aim at.

Care homes in Basingstoke
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.
