Why familiar surroundings matter

For people living with dementia, familiar surroundings are enormously important. Home physiotherapy allows treatment in a calm, known environment with family present. Every session is adapted to the individual's abilities on that day.

"My father has benefited tremendously and we are very happy with her. She is very knowledgeable, assesses the patient individually and provides therapy according to need and ability."
