🌎 Happy World Occupational Therapy Day 2025 🌎

Today we’re celebrating “Occupational Therapy in Action” — Occupational Therapists empower people every day — helping them stay independent, confident, and living life to the fullest.

For older people in our community, occupational therapy can make a world of difference. OTs help individuals stay safe and active at home, develop new strategies for everyday tasks, and regain control and independence in their daily lives. 💪

We’re especially celebrating Cathy, our fantastic occupational therapist,, for her dedication, compassion, and the positive impact she makes every day. 🌟

Let’s take a moment to thank all occupational therapists who help others live with purpose, confidence, and dignity.

Thank you.

Stay Steady This Winter - Falls Prevention for Older Adults

Did you know that around 1 in 3 adults over 65 in England fall each year? Winter brings extra challenges with wet, slippery pavements (the UK averages 159 days of rain annually), darker mornings, and the cold making us less steady on our feet.

The new NICE guideline (published April 2025) recommends personalised exercise programmes focusing on balance, coordination, and strength to reduce your falls risk. Research shows these exercises can reduce falls by up to 42% when done regularly - and we deliver this right to your doorstep.

How physiotherapy and occupational therapy at home reduces your falls risk:

🏋️ Targeted exercise programmes - Balance and strength training has been proven to reduce falls by up to 50% in community-dwelling older adults.
🏠 Home environmental assessment - We identify and advise on home hazards, environmental modifications, home safety and functional activities.
💪 Improved confidence - Building strength and balance in your own home helps you feel steadier and safer on your feet.
📋 Personalised to YOU - We assess your individual risk factors (medications, medical conditions, previous falls, functional ability, cognition) and create a tailored plan to suit your needs.

Why home visits make a difference:

✅ No travel stress - especially important in wet, dark winter weather.
✅ Better adherence - you're more likely to stick to exercises in familiar surroundings.
✅ Real-world practice - learn safe movement in the rooms and stairs you actually use.
✅ Convenient & flexible - appointments including evenings and weekends.

Don't let fear of falling keep you indoors this winter. Take control of your independence with expert support in the comfort and safety of your own home.

Happy to share some excellent feedback we've received for the team recently. Always nice to hear we are making a difference 🥰.

Cathy- "Thanks for all the links and advice. I have to say seeing you work and doing your job, you are very good. Thanks for giving *** the once over, and for giving her the ok to return home."

Carly-"I would like to say how pleased I have been with Carly's help. She has been very professional in assisting me to get mobile following surgery. Explaining all the treatments and the reasons for it and giving me exercises to do in-between her visits."

Kerry- "I am really not sure where we would be without your visit, expertise and advice- and I can't thank you enough."

Kerry- "Kerry is very supportive and encourages me to do my very best, whilst making me feel I'm doing a good job which helps my confidence."
