The Chase in Huntingdon is partnering with Therapies on Thames to deliver rehabilitation services to older people recovering from illness, injury, and joint operations.
The Chase is part of Connaught Care Collection, while Therapies on Thames is a specialist provider of inpatient rehabilitation and post-op recovery services. For an all-inclusive fee, participants will temporarily stay at the home and receive weekly physiotherapy sessions, nutritional planning, tailored health and wellbeing advice, and round-the-clock care from the home’s dedicated team of carers.
Participants will benefit from a seven-day therapy service alongside regular assessments to track their progress and adjust their care plans. Additionally, once patients are discharged, they will have regular check-ins to ensure their recovery stays on track.
The ‘Rehab Bed’ project was launched in September. Mayor of Huntingdon Karl Brockett and Conservative MP for Huntingdon Ben Obese-Jecty attended to cut a ribbon in the home’s physical therapy room.
Stephen Orwin, life enrichment and wellbeing coordinator at Connaught Care, said: “When elderly people are discharged from hospital after an extended stay, they can be at a loss on how to transition back to ordinary life; particularly when rehabilitation is needed. The stress of finding the right help at the right time can be overwhelming. That’s why we are delighted to be working with Therapies on Thames to offer recovering people the support, guidance, and resources they need all in one place. We want The Chase to not just be somewhere people stay, but also a place to come and get better together.”
Tanya Campbell, practice manager at Therapies on Thames, commented: “We are so pleased to be working with The Chase to extend our inpatient rehabilitation services to a brand new setting. Our team is committed to providing high-quality, evidence-based therapies to ensure that each individual receives the support they need. At Therapies on Thames, we believe quality of life is everything – and we look forward to working with people to achieve the best possible outcomes in their recovery journey.”
