Aged Care & Home-Based Physiotherapy Services
Compassionate Care. Personalised Rehabilitation. Delivered to Your Door.
At Merrylands Rehab Centre, we are committed to delivering high-quality physiotherapy services not only in our clinic but also within the comfort and safety of your home. Our Aged Care and Home-Based Physiotherapy Program is specifically designed to meet the needs of older adults and individuals who may be unable to travel due to physical limitations, medical conditions, or personal circumstances.
Our goal is to help every patient maintain or regain independence, manage chronic conditions, reduce fall risks, and improve overall quality of life through professional, evidence-based care in a familiar and supportive environment.
Who Can Benefit from Home-Based Physiotherapy?
Home physiotherapy is ideal for individuals who:
- Are recovering from surgery (e.g., hip/knee replacement, spinal surgery)
- Have mobility challenges or are at risk of falls
- Are managing age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, or Parkinson’s disease
- Are living with chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, or stroke
- Experience general weakness, fatigue, or functional decline
- Are under palliative or post-hospital care
- Prefer receiving care in the comfort of their own home
Family members and carers can also benefit by receiving education and support on safe mobility techniques and home management strategies.
Our Services Include:
Our home-based physiotherapy and aged care program offers a wide range of services tailored to the unique needs of each patient:
-
Functional Assessments
We assess the patient’s physical abilities, balance, strength, range of motion, and risk of falls. These assessments form the foundation for a personalised treatment plan.
-
Fall Prevention Programs
Falls are a major concern in the elderly. We implement specific interventions, including strength and balance training, gait retraining, and education to reduce fall risks and improve safety at home.
-
Mobility & Gait Training
We provide walking aid assessments, mobility training, and reconditioning exercises to help improve walking ability and maintain independence.
-
Pain Management
Our experienced physiotherapists use a combination of hands-on techniques, electrotherapy, dry needling (when appropriate), and exercise therapy to manage chronic pain conditions such as arthritis, back pain, and neuropathic pain.
-
Post-Surgical Rehabilitation
We assist with rehabilitation following orthopaedic or general surgery by providing progressive exercise programs and manual therapy techniques aimed at improving recovery, strength, and confidence.
-
Neurological Rehabilitation
For patients with conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, or neuropathy, our therapy focuses on improving movement patterns, coordination, and daily functional abilities.
-
Carer & Family Education
We provide education and guidance for carers to safely assist their loved ones, prevent injury, and support rehabilitation efforts at home.
-
Equipment Prescription & Home Modifications
Our team can assist in recommending and sourcing mobility aids such as walkers, wheelchairs, and home safety equipment to improve accessibility and function in the home environment.
