What We Do
What is Care Home Physiotherapy?
Enhancing Quality of Life, Promoting Independence, and Supporting Staff Wellbeing
Support for Your Residents
At Norwich Home Physiotherapy, we understand the unique needs of residents living in care homes. They may experience challenges such as reduced mobility, poor balance and general deconditioning. Left unaddressed, these issues can lead to falls, fractures, loss of independence, and a decline in wellbeing.
However, proactive physiotherapy support can play a vital role in restoring mobility and independence, preventing avoidable hospital admissions and reducing the need for more advanced levels of care
What We Offer
- Individual physiotherapy sessions for self-funding residents: Comprehensive assessments and personalised rehabilitation plans. We can offer one-off assessments and ongoing therapy tailored to the needs of each care home and its residents.
- Group exercise classes: To support not only physical health but also mental well-being, social connection and cognitive function.
- Set hours working: Scheduled dedicated hours within the care home, focused on seeing as many residents as possible during the allocated time, while working collaboratively with the care home to enhance the quality of care delivered.

Support for Staff and Carers
Physiotherapy input doesn’t just benefit residents—it supports the whole care home environment. We can provide:

- Safe Mobility Plans: We assess mobility needs and recommend appropriate walking aids and equipment for safer transfers and daily movement.
- Training and Education: We provide practical training to care teams on rehabilitation support, use of equipment, and promoting independence.
We are here to help you deliver high-quality, cost-effective care. Let’s work together to create safe, supportive environments where residents and clients can move more, stay well, and live with greater independence.
