FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my mother come home from Chelsea and Westminster?
Yes, and ringing before she is discharged is better than after. We take referrals straight from families — no GP letter, no waiting list, nothing to arrange through the ward. If she came through the Nightingale acute frailty unit she will have had good work on standing and moving a few steps; the gap is between that and her own flat, her own bathroom and her own chair. Tell us the date when you have it and we will book the first visit into that first week home, which is when most ground is lost.
She has stopped walking down to the King's Road. Nothing has happened. Is that worth a call?
Yes, and it is the call we most wish people made sooner. Chelsea and Westminster run an older adult support team whose stated aim is to see people quickly, often at home, to prevent emergency admissions — which tells you how seriously the change you are describing is taken. When somebody stops making a walk they have always made, it is rarely the legs alone, and the strength follows the habit down within months. We would work on the actual route rather than exercises in the drawing room.
Her flat is on the third floor and the lift is often out. Does that make this impossible?
No — it makes it more useful. Stairs in a period building are the hardest thing most of our clients do, and a lift that cannot be relied on means she has to be able to manage without it. That is a specific, trainable goal rather than a reason to give up, and it is exactly the sort of thing a clinic cannot rehearse. We would work on those actual stairs, at her pace, and be honest with you about whether we think the flat is going to remain workable.
She has a housekeeper who does absolutely everything for her. Is that a problem?
Not a problem exactly, but it is worth looking at. A good housekeeper removes effort by design — that is what she is there for — and effort is the thing that maintains strength in someone in their eighties. The carrying, the stairs with the laundry, the reaching into the high cupboard: each of those was doing something useful, and none of them is missed until the day she cannot manage without help. We are not suggesting anyone does less. We work out which two or three of those jobs she should keep, and make sure everyone in the house knows they are hers.
Her GP is private. Do you still work with them?
Yes, and it usually makes things easier rather than harder. With her permission we write to whoever is responsible for her medical care — private GP, NHS practice or consultant — if we find something that needs a doctor: pain that is not controlled, a medication affecting her balance, something we are not happy with. We are equally glad to report progress if they would like it. You should not be the one relaying messages between us, whoever is looking after her.
I live abroad. How would I know what is actually happening?
You would hear it from us, in writing, without having to ask. Distance is a common position on these visits and it is often why the call comes in the first place — the person carrying the most worry is the one who cannot walk in and see for themselves. So we record where she is starting from, send you what changed after visits, and deal with you directly rather than relaying everything through whoever happens to live nearest. If things are going the wrong way you will hear that from us too, not months later.
Who would know that you are coming?
Only the people she wants to know. We arrive as a visitor, not in a uniform with a logo on the back, and we do not announce ourselves to a porter or a neighbour as anything other than someone here to see her. If she would rather the building staff were told, we will introduce ourselves; if she would rather they were not, we will not. Discretion matters to a lot of people and it costs us nothing, so it is simply how we work.

Care homes in Chelsea
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.
