FAQ - Your local questions
Can you help my mother come home from St Thomas'?
Yes, and ringing before she is discharged is better than after. We take referrals straight from families — no GP letter, no list to join, nothing to arrange through the ward. The hospital will have got her to a standard that works on a ward: flat floors, handrails, someone within calling distance. Home asks different questions, particularly in a flat — the lift, the lobby, the threshold, getting out of her own chair. Tell us the date and we will book the first visit into that first week back.
My father has stopped walking down to the river, which he did every day. Is that worth mentioning?
Very much so. A daily walk that disappears is a lot of exercise going without any decision being made, and whatever sits underneath it, the effect builds over months. Usually it is not the legs alone — it is the distance back, the crossings, or a quiet worry about being caught short too far from home. Nothing needs to have gone wrong for it to be worth an hour, and getting that particular walk back is a far better goal than anything we could invent for him.
We are in a block with a lift that is sometimes out for days. Does that change things?
It makes the stairs a goal rather than an inconvenience, which changes what we work on. If the lift cannot be relied on, being able to manage at least one flight is the difference between staying in the flat and being trapped in it, so we work on those actual stairs rather than something generic. We would also be straight with you about whether we think that is achievable, because it is a significant question about whether the flat remains the right place.
She is a very private person and hates the idea of anyone in the flat. What happens on a first visit?
Less than she fears. We are not there to inspect anything or take over her sitting room. The first visit is mostly conversation — what she used to do, what she has stopped doing, what she would like back — with enough hands-on assessment to see how she really moves, and enough treatment that it does not feel like an hour of talking. She stays in charge throughout. If she would rather we did not come back, that is a legitimate answer and we will say so plainly.
He is in constant pain and I am worried exercise will make it worse.
That worry is sensible and it is the first thing we deal with rather than something to get past. Pain nobody has got on top of is one of the commonest reasons rehabilitation stalls, so we assess it properly before asking him to do anything. Good physiotherapy for an older person in pain is not pushing through — it is finding the movement that does not provoke it and building from there. If something needs a doctor or a medication review first, we will write and say so.
Can you work alongside the care agency that comes in?
Yes, and it usually makes their visits count for more. We show the care team where the rehabilitation is hiding inside what they already do — how a transfer can be practice rather than a lift, which part of a walk he should manage himself, when to wait rather than step in. It is never a criticism of anyone; helping in a way that quietly takes over is something all of us do with the best intentions. We leave the guidance written down so it does not depend on who is on shift.
How would we know whether it is working?
Because we measure it and tell you. At the start we record how far she walks, how she gets out of a chair and what she manages without help, so progress is a fact rather than an impression. After visits you hear what has changed and what has not. And if the work stops making a difference we will say so and stop, rather than quietly carrying on because the appointments are in the diary. Being told straight is worth more than being strung along.

Care homes in Westminster
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.
