Undergoing a hospital stay can be a challenging experience, regardless of age. However, it becomes even more arduous for the elderly. Adjusting to life at home and recovering from the hospital can take considerable time and effort.

​

Having spent 16 years in the NHS, I am well aware of the struggles faced by elderly patients trapped in a cycle of hospital readmissions. The fear of movement at home, fueled by concerns of another accident, can make them more accident-prone as their joints become stiff. We are dedicated to changing this narrative. Our mission is to mobilize you and reintegrate you into the community after a fall.

Setting Attainable Milestones: A Path to Regaining Confidence

Setting small goals for yourself is one of the most effective strategies in your recovery journey. It is crucial to acknowledge that a complete return to normalcy immediately after a distressing time is unrealistic. Instead, focus on gradual adaptation to being back home.

Start with achievable objectives, such as mastering the stairs with the aid of a handrail. As your strength and confidence grow, set progressively larger goals, such as assisted walks to the end of the garden and back. By setting small milestones, you can track your progress, gain confidence, and ultimately regain your independence.
