Complementary Therapies

Providing well-rounded care is important to us, we endeavour to look after residents’ physical and medical needs, as well as their social, mental and emotional well-being. Although physiotherapy, chiropody and hairdressing are not regulatory requirements, we believe they form an integral part of our resident’s care and therefore are provided at no additional cost.

Physiotherapy

At Forest Care, we encourage our residents to lead an active and healthy lifestyle and offer regular group exercises and a clinic where residents can have a one-to-one consultation with a physiotherapist. Physiotherapy helps to maintain mobility and prevent falls. We also train our staff in best movement practices.

Chiropody

Every home has a visiting chiropodist who attends to any treatment our residents require. This is an important part of our well-rounded care. Additional charges may apply for specialist nail/feet treatments.

Hairdressing

Our hairdressing services within our on-site hair salons are included in our weekly fees. Additional charges apply for specialist treatments, such as perms and colouring.

Day Trips

Each home has its own wheelchair-friendly mobility vehicle to transport small groups of residents for day trips out. Whether it’s a visit to a nearby attraction, an afternoon tea at a local hotel or a longer trip to the seaside, we understand the importance of spending quality time with residents.
