Returning home after a hospital stay is an important step in recovery. However, being ready to leave hospital does not always mean that walking, climbing stairs, or managing everyday activities feels easy.

FisioMed provides in-home physiotherapy in Delta for people who need additional rehabilitation support after discharge from Delta Hospital. We bring one-on-one care into your home, with an approach tailored to your abilities, surroundings, and personal goals.

Support for the transition from hospital to home

After a hospital stay, you may notice changes in your strength, endurance, balance, or confidence with movement. Tasks that once felt straightforward—such as getting out of bed, standing from a chair, or walking to the bathroom—may take more effort.

In-home physiotherapy allows these challenges to be assessed in the setting where you encounter them. Your physiotherapist can work with you on practical goals that matter to your daily routine.

How in-home physiotherapy can help

Depending on your assessment and any instructions from your hospital care team, your physiotherapy plan may include:

  • Walking and mobility practice: Working on moving around your home and using a prescribed mobility aid.
  • Strength and endurance exercises: Building activity gradually according to your abilities and tolerance.
  • Balance training: Addressing difficulties with standing, turning, and changing direction.
  • Everyday movement practice: Practising getting in and out of bed, standing from a chair, and navigating stairs when appropriate.
  • Patient and caregiver education: Explaining exercises and discussing ways to support daily movement.

Your treatment plan is individualized and takes account of any relevant precautions or restrictions.

What to expect at your first home visit

Your physiotherapist will discuss your hospital stay, current concerns, and recovery goals. Have your discharge summary and any rehabilitation or surgical instructions available, if you have them.

The assessment may include reviewing your movement, strength, balance, walking, and ability to manage everyday tasks. Together, you will identify priorities and develop a plan suited to your home and current level of function.

With your permission, a family member or caregiver can join the visit to ask questions and understand the recommendations.

Arranging physiotherapy for a family member

If your loved one is preparing to leave Delta Hospital—or has recently returned home—you can contact FisioMed to discuss in-home physiotherapy.

When you reach out, it is helpful to share:

  • Their expected or actual discharge date
  • Their location in Delta
  • Their main mobility concerns
  • Any discharge instructions or activity restrictions
  • Whether they currently use a walker, cane, or other mobility aid

Our team can discuss service availability, fees, and whether a home assessment is appropriate.

Does hospital discharge include private physiotherapy?

An appointment with FisioMed is arranged separately from hospital discharge services. Ask your discharge team what publicly funded rehabilitation has been arranged, and contact us to discuss private in-home care and any applicable insurance coverage.
