FAQ - Your local questions
My mother is on one of the rehabilitation wards at Queen Mary's Roehampton. Can you take over afterwards?
Yes, and it is a sensible moment to arrange it. The elderly rehabilitation wards at Queen Mary’s — Mary Seacole, Amyand and Rodney Smith — do focused work, and people frequently 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 from the beginning again.
My father has stopped walking on the Common. Nothing has happened to him. Is that worth a call?
Yes, and it is the sort of thing we most wish people rang about. Giving up a regular walk is rarely the legs alone — it is the uneven ground, the distance back, and a quiet decision not to risk being caught out. Once that walk goes, the strength that came with it goes over the following months. It responds well while it is recent, and working on the actual route he wants back is far more use than exercises in the sitting room.
She had her stroke at St George's and the rehabilitation has now finished. Is there anything left to gain?
Usually yes, though slower and more specific than in the early weeks. The first three months after a stroke are the most productive and we will not pretend otherwise. But NICE is clear that rehabilitation should continue for as long as it helps somebody reach their goals, and asks for a review at six months and then yearly, which only makes sense because later progress happens. What is achievable now is one concrete thing at a time: a transfer done more safely, a walk made without stopping.
Do you cover Raynes Park, Southfields and Merton Park?
Yes — Wimbledon Village, Raynes Park, Southfields, Merton Park and the streets around the Common. This part of south-west London is easier to cross than the centre, but a home visit still saves most of the energy an appointment would use up before it started. Where you live changes nothing about how long we stay or what we work on. If you are just beyond the places named here, ring and ask rather than ruling yourself out.
He will do the exercises with you and nothing in between. Does that mean it will not work?
Not necessarily, and it is worth finding out why before treating it as refusal. Most people who do nothing between visits are not being difficult — they are unsure they are doing it correctly, nervous about being alone if something goes wrong, or the exercises simply do not fit the shape of the day. We would rather leave two things he will genuinely do than eight he will not, and we build the work into what already happens so it does not depend on remembering a programme.
She has carers twice a day and she is still getting weaker. How?
Because a care package is designed to maintain, not to improve, and it does that job well. Nobody writes into a care plan that she should be walking further in six weeks than she is today; it is not what the plan is for. So unless somebody sets a goal and works at it, the default is a steady holding pattern that very slowly slips. What we bring is the goal — one concrete thing that would change her day — and the weekly work to go at it, alongside the care rather than instead of it.
I am two hours away and cannot get down often. How will I know how she is?
You will hear from us directly rather than having to chase. Distance is common and it is frequently the reason families ring — the person who worries most is often the one who cannot see for themselves. We report after visits, we say what has changed and what has not, and you can ring us yourself rather than going through whoever lives nearest. If something is going backwards, you will hear that from us first rather than discovering it on a visit.

Care homes in Wimbledon
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.
