We believe it is important to encourage an environment of rehabilitation and independence as opposed to dependence on staff to undertake all care needs. All interventions are patient focused and patient and relative led goals are formulated and reviewed throughout each patients stay.
Where indicated all of our clients receive 2 therapeutic interventions on a daily basis from Monday to Friday with a once daily intervention on a Saturday and a Sunday. Physiotherapy sessions may include, but are not limited to:
We work closely as part of the larger multi-disciplinary team including Nursing staff, Care staff, Occupational Therapists, GP’s, Consultant Geriatricians, Social Care, Mental health service as well as the many community and neighbourhood teams.
We use validated outcome measures throughout the rehabilitation process and conduct internal audits to appraise effectiveness.
Personalised exercise programmes are issued to all residents where appropriate and these are delivered by our staff once per day alongside a rehabilitation session.
Residents are then encouraged to undertake these independently and with visitors / carers at other times throughout the day.
