My friend who is 102 fell and needed to go into immediate respite care. However, her wish was to return home to her independence and the community therapy service provided advice and support in achieving this.
We had advice re my friends general health and how to maintain it. Also, her flat was checked for any mobility issues and aids required and she was visited by a physiotherapist and given advice on movement.
Everyone that visited my friend was kind, patient and helpful. Couldn’t have asked for a better response.
My only negative comment would be that she wasn’t given any written advice/exercises etc which would have been ideal given her level of dementia means that she doesn’t remember fully everything she is told and a paper reference would have been ideal.
