Outcomes for Residents and Care Home Leadership

Falls prevention requires more than activity provision. It requires clinical reasoning, structured progression and documented outcomes.
Reeflex provides physiotherapy led intervention tailored to the needs of older adults in care homes, with assessment reports suitable for care plans and reassessment summaries that demonstrate measurable change. This ensures both improved resident function and clear governance evidence for leadership teams.

For Residents

  • Improved lower limb strength

  • Improved balance and mobility confidence

  • Increased sit to stand capacity

  • Greater functional independence

  • Reduced fear of falling

For Management and Directors 

  • Proactive falls risk reduction strategy

  • Assessment led input, not generic activity provision

  • Initial written reports suitable for care plans

  • Outcome tracking for quality and governance

  • Clear documentation supporting CQC evidence

Why Physiotherapy, Not Just Activity Sessions

Falls prevention requires clinical reasoning, risk stratification and progressive loading. Reeflex programmes are delivered by a HCPC registered physiotherapist and structured around modifiable falls risk factors, including strength, balance, proprioception and dual task performance.

This provides a clinically accountable service that supports both resident outcomes and operational standards.

How It Works 

  • Comprehensive physiotherapy assessment including functional mobility, sit to stand performance, balance, gait analysis, falls risk profiling and relevant cognitive screening linked to dual task mobility.


    • Initial Assessment 

  • A structured written report outlining assessment findings, identified risk factors, clinical priorities and clear guidance for integration within the resident's care documentation.


    • Written Report for Care Plans 

  • Progressive physiotherapy sessions delivered within the care home, targeting strength, balance and dual task mobility. Programmes are adapted for frailty and cognitive impairment.


  • Structured Programme Delivery

    • At the end of each 12 week cycle, residents are reassessed and a documented outcome summary is provided. Findings are used to set the next progression phase, ensuring continuous improvement rather than a fixed end point.
