Anchor of Love Hospice

Physical Therapy

Therapy aimed at comfort, safe movement and maintaining independence for as long as possible.

Physical Therapy

Physical therapy in hospice is not about rehabilitation to a previous level of function. It is about comfort, safe movement, and helping a patient keep as much independence and dignity as their condition allows.

It also protects caregivers. Learning safe ways to help someone move reduces the risk of injury to the person doing the lifting.

What this includes

  • Gentle exercise to ease stiffness and maintain mobility
  • Safe transfer techniques for patient and caregiver
  • Positioning to relieve pressure and discomfort
  • Advice on equipment that supports safer movement
  • Fall-risk assessment of the home
