Physiotherapy in Retirement Homes

Physiotherapy at home. Our clinic offers physiotherapy at home services for patients who are elderly patients living in retirement homes located around our clinic. The areas where we offer this service are:

  • Kanata South
  • Stittsville
  • We also have relationships with retirement homes in:
  • Sandy Hill
  • Vanier

We provide one on one physiotherapy to patients who are having pain, weakness or trouble with their balance. The initial visit lasts 1 hour and subsequent visits usually last 30 minutes. We see patients 1 or 2 times per week until they feel better. No referral is needed. If you are receiving physiotherapy through the CCAC or the Champlain Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), we can continue your therapy with you once those services end. Or if there is a long wait list for government sponsored services, we can come in to see you in a more timely fashion.

Our physiotherapy at home service has helped many patients recover their strength and mobility in order to return to the activities they love, be it simply to get out to see their friends or participate in retirement home activities and gatherings. Our treatments may include individually tailored therapeutic exercises, massage and manual therapy, equipment recommendations, and the use of therapeutic machines such as Ultrasound or TENS. Here are some issues and conditions we regularly treat through this service:

  • Elderly patients who are having trouble with their strength, balance or mobility. This has been especially prevalent during the last few years of Covid lockdowns.
  • Patients who fall often or who are scared of falling.
  • Patients who might need a walker, cane or other adaptive equipment and would like to be assessed to know exactly what type of equipment is suitable for them. We can also make recommendation for equipment in the bathroom and shower and other places in the home.
  • Patients who are recovering from a knee or hip replacement or other surgery and would like some additional physiotherapy on top of what is offered to them through the public system.

    • generic cialis Thus, the learners should avoid such fake courses.

  • Retirement or Long Term Care home residents who would like to have a regular one on one physiotherapy program that is tailored to their needs.
  • Patients who suffer from pain or weakness that is limiting their function and day to day activities.
  • We also work with patients who have dementia, Alzheimer’s disease or other cognitive issues.

 

Plans

Our physiotherapist will conduct an initial assessment and build a treatment plan that meets your needs. We offer at home physiotherapy in one of 2 streams.

  • In stream A, you receive regular treatments with the physiotherapist.
  • In stream B, you receive regular treatment by a trained physiotherapy assistant and regular visits by the physiotherapist every 1-2 months depending on your needs. The physiotherapist will review your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed. Stream B is more appropriate for patients who would require supervision or assistance to complete a customized exercise program or walking program at home. The cost per visit is less, which allows the patient to get more visits for the same price while receiving therapy which is fully guided and supervised by the physiotherapist.
