The NHS CPFT Community Rehabilitation Service offers specialist support for adults (18+) who are housebound due to physical illness, injury, disability, or infirmity. Our team of physiotherapists and occupational therapists help you live independently and safely at home.
What to expect:
- A member of our team will visit your home to carry out a thorough assessment.
- We create a personalised rehabilitation and treatment plan based on your needs, goals, and circumstances.
- Support may include enabling programmes to boost confidence and independence, exercise programmes to improve mobility and strength, information and education about your condition, housing needs assessment, and assessments for mobility aids, assistive equipment, and home adaptations.
How to access:
- For Community Occupational Therapy, you can self-refer by calling 0345 045 5202, or a carer, partner, or family member can refer you. Healthcare professionals can also refer.
- For Community Physiotherapy, a referral from a healthcare professional is required.
- If you are unsure which therapy is best, speak to a healthcare professional.
After referral, you may receive a phone call to discuss your needs. You will then be placed on a waiting list and given an appointment. Our therapist will visit your home, discuss your goals and concerns, and work with you to develop a tailored plan.
Falls Prevention: If you are over 65 and have had a fall, ask your GP or health professional about a referral to CPFT's Falls Prevention Service.
Cost: This service is free. Financial support for home adaptations is available for those on low incomes, subject to eligibility and discussion.
