“Jo was excellent in supporting my 99 year old dad after he suffered a hip fracture. She supported him to get mobile and provided exercises to help him regain muscle strength. Lots of incredibly helpful suggestions and an extremely positive and encouraging therapist — we are extremely grateful!”

What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“During what has been a terrible time for our family with Covid and losing our Mum, our therapist has been fantastic in her care for my Dad. Always patient and caring and her knowledge of her profession is second to none. Dad was almost doubled over with sciatica and pain in his legs but her gentle exercise suggestions have been fantastic. He's now free of pain and at 86 years old, how many people can say that?!”
What Happens After a Hospital Stay in Chandler's Ford
We specialise in helping older adults regain independence after illness, falls, or discharge from Southampton General Hospital.
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
Most of the older adults we support in Chandler's Ford come to us after a hospital admission. The nearest major hospital is Southampton General (University Hospital Southampton), a short drive down the M3; because SO53 also falls within the Winchester catchment, some residents are instead treated and discharged from the Royal Hampshire County Hospital.
Back in Chandler's Ford, NHS rehabilitation usually follows your Hampshire GP: the community therapy teams of Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, together with Hampshire County Council's reablement service. Intermediate care and reablement are short-term services, often lasting up to six weeks. Other NHS rehabilitation depends on assessed needs and the local pathway; ask your team what your discharge plan includes.
When that period ends but progress is still being made, we continue the work at home: unhurried, specialist physiotherapy and occupational therapy for as long as it keeps helping. Chandler's Ford also has the Nuffield Health Wessex Hospital on Winchester Road, and we often help people rebuild strength at home after a self-funded hip or knee replacement there. Our guide to hospital discharge planning explains how the handover works, and our elderly rehabilitation and mobility service is often where ongoing recovery begins.
Our Chandler's Ford Service Area
We provide home visits throughout the SO53 postcode and beyond. Whether you live near Thornden School, Knightwood Leisure Centre, Hiltingbury Recreation Ground, or down towards the Fryern Arcade, our team can reach you easily.
We also cover the neighbouring villages of Otterbourne, Ampfield, Hursley, Shawford, and Compton, and nearby towns including Southampton, Eastleigh, Romsey, and Totton.
Chandler's Ford's Quieter Story: A Commuter Suburb That's Ageing Well
Chandler's Ford is best known as a commuter suburb between Southampton and Winchester, but that reputation understates how many settled older adults live here. Across Eastleigh borough, where the median age is 41, 19.5% of residents were aged 65 or over at the 2021 Census; within Chandler's Ford parish itself the share is higher still, with best-fit estimates pointing to around one in four. Many are long-standing homeowners who fully intend to stay in the houses where they raised their families.
That settled pattern brings a practical difficulty of its own. Chandler's Ford sits almost exactly between two acute hospitals, so a course of outpatient rehabilitation can mean repeated trips down the M3 to Southampton General, where parking is limited at busy times, or across to Winchester. For an older adult who is tired after a hospital stay or wary of a fall, arranging lifts, parking and transfers before therapy has even begun can be draining.
A home visit takes all of that away. We come to you, and let recovery happen where you feel steadiest — with no journey to manage at either end of the day.
