FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my mother come home from Frimley Park or Wexham Park?
Yes, and ringing before she leaves is better than ringing after. We take referrals straight from families, so there is nothing to arrange through the ward and no waiting list to join. Frimley Health also runs a hospital-at-home and virtual frailty service, which sometimes means people come out earlier than the family expected — that is good, but it puts the pressure on the first week at home rather than the last week in hospital. Tell us the likely date and we will book the first visit into that week, which is when confidence and ground are lost fastest.
My father has started taking the stairs one at a time, holding both rails. Nothing has happened. Is that worth ringing about?
Yes, and it is close to the ideal moment. Stairs are the most demanding thing most people do each day, so they are where lost leg strength shows up first — usually months before anybody falls. Nothing needs to have gone wrong for it to be worth an hour of assessment, and it is far easier to rebuild stairs while they are still being used than after the bed has moved downstairs. If we can work on this now, the fall and the fortnight in hospital that often follows may simply not happen.
He is 88 and says he is past all this. Is physiotherapy realistic at that age?
Yes, and his age tells us much less than what has changed recently. Strength responds at any age — the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy ran a whole public campaign on exactly that, and the research behind it is solid. What matters far more is the trajectory: somebody who was managing the garden in Binfield last summer and is not now has a great deal to aim at. We would assess him properly and tell him plainly what we think is achievable, which tends to be a more persuasive conversation than encouragement from the family.
Do you visit Crowthorne, Sandhurst and the villages around Bracknell?
Yes — Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Binfield, Warfield, Winkfield and the lanes between them. Bracknell is our hub for this corner of Berkshire and the boundary is not a hard line on a map. Being a few miles out 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 to an appointment they arrive at too tired to get anything from. If you are unsure whether you are inside our area, ring and ask rather than deciding for yourself.
My mother agrees to everything while we are there and then does nothing. What can you do about that?
Work out why, rather than treating it as stubbornness. Agreeing in the room and not following through is almost always about something unsaid — not being confident she is doing it right, worrying about being alone if something goes wrong, or quietly disagreeing with a goal somebody else chose for her. We would ask her what she actually wants back rather than telling her what to work on, and give her two things she will genuinely do instead of eight she will not. We would also tell you honestly if we think she does not want this.
Her carers come in four times a day and she still seems to be getting weaker. How is that possible?
It is a real pattern and there is a reason for it. Every decision to do something for her rather than let her try is, in the moment, the safer decision — nobody wants a fall on their watch, and that instinct is right. Over months, though, the weakness that builds up is itself the thing most likely to cause the fall. Managing that trade-off is the actual skill. We work out which attempts are genuinely safe for her to make, and which are not, so that the caution is applied where it earns something.
What can we do as a family between your visits?
Rather a lot, and we will show you exactly what rather than leaving you guessing. It is usually smaller than families expect: letting her stand up without a hand under the elbow, walking to the kitchen rather than having the tea carried through, giving her the extra ten seconds it takes to do it herself. The hard part is not helping — watching somebody struggle briefly when you could step in is genuinely difficult. We are clear about which struggles are safe and useful and which are not, so you are not left judging that alone.

Care homes in Bracknell
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.
