We complete a 90 minute home / care home visit for the initial assessment.
We find out what the main problems are and very importantly what goals the person has. We ask about medical history, medications, falls, previous and current level of mobility, continence, cognition, support currently in place and more.
We assess physical ability including muscle strength, tone, balance, joint range of movement, bed mobility, transfers, stands, gait and functional movement. We check equipment in the home and make sure movement is optimised for everyone involved.
At the end of the session there will be a clear plan tailored to the person's goals of exercise, pain management, functional movement and support.
We send a clear summary with suggested actions to the GP with consent.
