Physiotherapy home visits in Smithfield

Smithfield has an established residential core with a good deal of original single-storey housing, which makes it more like Guildford than like the newer estates further west. Front steps, a hallway that a walking frame will not turn in, and a laundry down a step are the recurring problems.

It is one of the shorter drives we make, which is worth knowing if mornings are unpredictable. Moving an appointment is a phone call rather than a three-week wait for the next available slot.

The older housing here is closer in character to Guildford than to the newer estates west of it, which means the same three problems come up: the front step, the narrow hallway, and the laundry down a step.

Local detail

Housing stock

An older residential core of single-storey homes, closer in character to Guildford than to the newer estates west of here.

Getting to you

About ten minutes from our Guildford base, so appointment times here are among the easiest for us to move if a morning goes badly.

Who we see here

A settled older population in long-held homes, with large Arabic, Assyrian and Vietnamese-speaking communities and a lot of families closely involved in a parent's care.
