Physiotherapy home visits in Wentworthville

Wentworthville sits right next to the Westmead hospital precinct, and that shapes the caseload. Being next door to the hospital precinct means people often call in the fortnight after a discharge, when the ward physio has finished and the home program has not really started.

That gap is the risky part. Strength drops quickly after a hospital stay, and confidence drops faster. Picking up early, in the house where the problems actually are, is the whole point of getting in soon after someone comes home.

Coming home from a ward is where most of the ground gets lost. The first fortnight sets whether someone rebuilds or settles into doing less, so we would rather see people early and briefly than later and intensively.

We cover Wentworthville and the streets around it — Pendle Hill and Girraween are all the same visit for us. About ten minutes from our base in Guildford.

Local detail

Nearest hospital

Westmead is minutes away, so post-discharge reconditioning is a large part of what we do in Wentworthville, Pendle Hill and Girraween.

Housing stock

A mix of original cottages and newer townhouses. Townhouses almost always mean internal stairs, which is a different program to a single-storey home.

A goal worth working toward here

Managing the walk to the Wentworthville shops on Station Street, which is flat but busier than people expect once they have been off their feet for a while.
