Total Health Choice provides compassionate Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy services for people living with dementia.
We support goals relating to mobility, safety, engagement and independence, while working respectfully with families and care teams.
Dementia can affect thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Support is built around the person’s routines, priorities and changing needs.
Every person’s situation is different. Our clinicians take time to understand the person’s current abilities, environment, goals and support network.
Support is planned around what is important to the person, including the activities they want or need to do each day.
Our team works collaboratively with the person, their family and their broader care team where appropriate.
Support to remain active, maintain mobility and work towards safer movement and confidence.
Home safety assessments, assistive equipment and practical strategies for everyday activities.
Clear communication with the person, family members and the broader care team.
Our team makes it straightforward to begin. We review the referral or enquiry, identify the most appropriate clinician and arrange an initial appointment based on availability and need.
