“I had recently had a fall and addtionally was having difficulty with walking. This had resulted in a loss of confidence but after a course of exercises provided by Seena Thomas I have recovered my strength and I am walking better, and with confidence. Seena is a delightful person and highly professional, approachable and encouraging. I would not hesitate to recommended the services of Medella.”

What Our Clients Say
Independent reviews from families we have helped. Read all 31 reviews.
“The team at Medella helped my elderly father get back on his feet after a stay in hospital. Everything was done with efficiency, great communication, compassion and care. They made a huge difference to his mobility. We will definitely use again if the need arises.”
After a Hospital Stay in Fareham
We specialise in helping older adults, stroke survivors, and those recovering from surgery or a hospital stay to regain independence and mobility — all in the comfort of your own home.
Which hospital, and NHS rehabilitation once you are home
Many of the older adults we support in Fareham come to us after a hospital stay. The main acute hospital for the area is Queen Alexandra Hospital in Cosham (Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust), where emergency admissions, strokes and planned surgery are treated. Closer to home, Fareham Community Hospital at Brook Lane, Sarisbury, provides community physiotherapy, occupational therapy and older people's services.
Once you are home, NHS rehabilitation usually follows your Hampshire GP: the community 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 support comes to an end but recovery is still ongoing, we continue the work at home — unhurried, one-to-one physiotherapy and occupational therapy for as long as it is helping. Our guide to elderly rehabilitation and mobility explains how home-based recovery works, and our hospital discharge planning guide walks through the first days home.
Our Fareham Service Area
We provide home visits across all of Fareham and its surrounding areas, including Portchester, Stubbington, Hill Head, Titchfield, Titchfield Common, Catisfield, Funtley, and Knowle.
We also cover the waterside villages of Locks Heath, Warsash, Park Gate, and Sarisbury Green, the Whiteley development, and the Meon Valley villages of Wickham, Droxford, Swanmore, and Bishop's Waltham. Our service area covers PO14, PO15 and PO16 postcodes, plus PO17 and nearby SO31 addresses, subject to therapist availability. We also cover nearby towns including Southampton, Eastleigh, Chandler's Ford, and Totton, and the rest of South Hampshire.
Fareham: An Older Borough Than the National Average
Fareham is an older borough than England as a whole. At the 2021 Census, nearly a quarter of residents were aged 65 or over, and the median age had risen from 44 to 47 — seven years above the England figure and higher than the South East average. The number of over-65s grew by 23.4% in the previous decade, faster than the population as a whole.
Fareham sits between Southampton and Portsmouth, and for someone recovering from surgery or a fall, the acute hospital is not close: Queen Alexandra Hospital is over in Cosham, on the far side of Portsmouth Harbour, so a course of outpatient rehabilitation can mean the M27, traffic and hospital parking before an appointment has even begun.
A home visit removes that journey. We bring the physiotherapy or occupational therapy to your door in Fareham, Portchester, Titchfield, Stubbington or Warsash — and work on the home you are actually trying to manage in.

Supporting Fareham Care Home Residents
We provide physiotherapy and occupational therapy to residents in care homes, nursing homes, and retirement living settings across Fareham and the surrounding area. We offer both one-to-one therapy for individual residents — helping with mobility after a fall, strength and balance, transfers, walking aid reviews, and post-hospital rehabilitation — and training and support for care staff.
If you're a care home manager looking for therapy services, or a family member wanting to arrange treatment for a relative in residential care, we'd be happy to discuss how we can help.
