What We Can Help You Improve
What's Included in Our Dementia Physiotherapy Service
Why Home Physiotherapy for Dementia Patients?
For people living with dementia, familiar surroundings are enormously important. Travelling to an unfamiliar clinic can cause distress and confusion. Home physiotherapy allows treatment to take place in a calm, known environment, with family members or carers present for reassurance. We adapt every session to the individual's cognitive and physical abilities on that day, ensuring a positive and dignified experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can physiotherapy really help someone with advanced dementia?
Yes. Even in later stages, gentle physiotherapy can maintain comfort, reduce stiffness, and preserve some mobility. The focus shifts towards quality of life, dignity, and preventing complications such as pressure sores.
How do you communicate with someone who has difficulty understanding?
Shena uses simple, clear language, visual demonstrations, and gentle physical guidance. Sessions are adapted to the individual's communication abilities and are always conducted with patience and kindness.
Can you visit care homes for dementia physiotherapy?
Yes. We work directly with residential and nursing care homes to provide in-house physiotherapy for residents living with dementia.
Will the sessions upset or confuse my loved one?
We take great care to ensure every session is calm and positive. We follow the individual's lead, never push beyond their comfort level, and always involve family members or carers in the process.
