For senior communities
A therapist who comes to your residents
We bring balance classes, screening days and caregiver training to your activity room, and we work alongside your wellness and nursing teams. You decide how big it is, and how often.
Ways we help
Six ways we work with a community
Group balance classes
Seated, standing and walking classes, led by a therapist with an assistant, on a schedule that suits your residents.
Screening days
A short check of how residents stand and walk, so the ones who would gain from a visit know it and the rest get reassurance.
Staff and caregiver training
How to help someone stand, walk and get up from the floor, taught to the people who help them every day.
Talks for residents and families
Plain-language sessions on falls, footwear, lighting and what to ask a doctor.
A walk-through of the building
A look at halls, dining rooms and bathrooms for places where residents hesitate, with notes you can use.
One-on-one care, when it is needed
For residents who need more than a class, a visit at our clinic, with a note back to your nursing team.
How it starts
From a first call to a weekly class
- 01
Step 1: A call
You tell us about your community and what you have noticed. We ask about the room, the residents and your staff.
- 02
Step 2: A walk-through
A therapist visits and looks at the halls, the dining room and the room where a class would meet.
- 03
Step 3: A first screening day
Residents who want one get a short check, and you see who might join a class.
- 04
Step 4: A first class
We start with one weekly class, seated or standing, and add more if your residents ask.
- 05
Step 5: A check-in each term
We sit down with your team and look at what is working, and what to change.
What we ask of a community
A room with chairs, a clear floor and a place for a bag. A staff member who knows the residents and can say who might like to join. A way for residents and families to sign up, and a contact for us when something changes.
We handle the rest, including the plan for each class and the notes on who attended.
What we do not do
We do not replace your nursing or wellness staff, and we do not give medical advice to a whole room. If a resident needs a doctor, we say so to the resident and, with permission, to your team.
We also do not promise how a class will go. People come to a class to keep moving, and we tell you honestly who is doing well and who might do better with one-on-one care.
Questions from directors
How big can a class be?
Six to twelve people works well, so each resident gets a therapist’s eyes. For more, we run two classes.
Who pays for a class?
It depends on the class and the residents. We explain who is paid for what before we start, in writing.
Can we start with a screening day?
Yes. Many communities do. It shows who might benefit, and it tells you what your residents want.
Do you work with our nursing team?
Yes. With a resident’s permission, we send your team a note after a screening or a visit.
What if only a few residents want to come?
Small classes are fine. We would rather start with five people who like it than twenty who do not.
