Safe Recovery at Home After Hospital Discharge
A registered physiotherapist can be at your door within 24–48 hours of coming home—joint replacement, stroke, fracture, or complex discharge. No clinic travel during your most vulnerable recovery week.
Transparent Pricing
Private pay: $180 (45 min) / $210 (60 min). Most extended health plans (Pacific Blue Cross, Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife) cover in-home visits, and we coordinate directly with ICBC if your hospital stay was accident-related.

Why Early Home Rehab Matters
Research consistently shows that patients who begin rehabilitation within the first 48-72 hours after hospital discharge experience faster recovery, fewer complications, and significantly lower readmission rates. Starting rehab at home eliminates the barriers of clinic travel during your most vulnerable recovery period.
Faster Recovery Timeline
Early mobilization prevents deconditioning, muscle loss, and joint stiffness that can set in quickly after surgery or a hospital stay. Patients who start home rehab early often return to normal activities weeks sooner.
Reduced Readmission Risk
Falls and complications in the first weeks after discharge are a leading cause of hospital readmission. Our therapists assess your home environment, identify hazards, and build your confidence to move safely.
Rehab in Your Own Space
Recovering at home means practising real-life movements—navigating your own stairs, getting in and out of your own bed, and using your own bathroom. This functional approach leads to better long-term outcomes.
Conditions We Support After Hospital Discharge
Our team specializes in helping patients recover from a wide range of surgeries, injuries, and medical events. Whether you've had a planned procedure or an unexpected hospitalization, we tailor your rehabilitation plan to your specific needs and recovery goals.
Joint Replacement Rehab
Total knee and hip replacement rehabilitation is one of our core specialties. We guide you through each phase of recovery—from initial weight-bearing and range-of-motion exercises to strengthening and return to daily activities. Our therapists follow surgeon-specific protocols to ensure optimal healing.
Fracture Recovery
After a fracture—whether from a fall, accident, or osteoporosis—our home-based physiotherapy helps restore strength, flexibility, and function. We work closely with your orthopaedic surgeon's guidelines to progress your rehab safely, including weight-bearing progressions and joint mobilization.
Stroke Rehabilitation
Stroke recovery requires intensive, consistent therapy. Our home-based stroke rehabilitation focuses on mobility retraining, balance improvement, functional movement practice, and fall prevention. We coordinate with occupational and speech therapists to address your full range of needs.
Complex Discharge & Deconditioning
Extended hospital stays—from cardiac events, respiratory illness, or complex surgeries—can leave patients significantly deconditioned. Our deconditioning rehab programs rebuild endurance, strength, and confidence through progressive, safe exercise programs delivered in your home.

What Families Should Know
When a loved one comes home from the hospital, families often feel uncertain about how to help. You may worry about causing pain, assisting with transfers, or knowing when something isn't right. Our team is here to support the entire family—not just the patient.
Home Safety Assessment
On the first visit, we assess your home for safety hazards—loose rugs, poor lighting, bathroom accessibility, and stair safety. We provide practical recommendations to reduce fall risk and make daily living easier during recovery.
Caregiver Education & Training
We teach family members safe transfer techniques, how to assist with exercises, and what warning signs to watch for. Empowering caregivers with knowledge reduces stress and improves outcomes. Learn more about our caregiver support services.
Clear Communication
After each session, we update families on progress, adjust the care plan as needed, and answer any questions. You'll always know what stage of recovery your loved one is in and what to expect next.
Emotional Support & Confidence Building
Recovery isn't just physical. Patients often feel anxious about falling or re-injury. Our therapists work patiently to rebuild confidence through gradual progressions, celebrating milestones, and creating a supportive environment at home.
No Special Setup Required
We bring portable equipment and adapt exercises to your space. If you have stairs, a chair, or a hallway, we can deliver effective rehab—no need to prepare your home or buy anything in advance.
Our Coordinated Care Approach
Post-hospital recovery requires more than a single therapist. Our coordinated, team-based model ensures you receive comprehensive support through every stage of your rehabilitation—from the day you come home through to full recovery.
Discharge Planning
We review your hospital discharge notes, surgical protocols, and physician recommendations before your first visit to create a targeted plan.
Initial Assessment
A registered physiotherapist visits your home within 24-48 hours to assess mobility, strength, balance, and home safety.
Team-Based Treatment
Your care team—including physiotherapists, kinesiologists, and rehab assistants—delivers consistent, progressive therapy sessions at home.
Progress & Transition
We track your recovery milestones, adjust your program, and communicate with your medical team until you're confident and independent.
Our therapists work alongside your surgeon, family physician, and other healthcare providers to ensure a seamless recovery. We also offer mobile kinesiology and seniors physiotherapy as part of our continuum of care.
