Physiotherapy for Seniors in Residential Aged Care Facilities
At Valens Care, we believe older people living in residential aged care deserve the same high standard of physiotherapy provided in private practice.
We provide group classes and tailored individual treatment (including hands-on therapy) to help your residents thrive and your business flourish.

Individual therapy as needed

Physiotherapists play a key role in supporting seniors in residential aged care facilities to maintain their mobility and independence.
We can support residents with:
- Neurological conditions such as stroke, dementia or Parkinson’s disease
- Cardiovascular conditions such as high blood pressure, heart failure or rehab after heart attack
- Musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, joint problems or degenerative disc disease.
Finding the right physio for your aged care facility
Is it best to have a physio on staff in your aged care facility? Or are you better off outsourcing to an agency?
Frankly, both options have serious drawbacks. Outsourcing to an agency can be disappointing when they ignore your needs in favour of larger clients.
And having a physio on staff can involve difficult performance management issues. How do you know whether they’re delivering gold-standard care or just doing the bare minimum?
Sadly, we regularly hear tales of poor performance and low expectations in aged care physiotherapy – unreliable providers who just leave a list of exercises rather than providing any hands-on treatment.
