Falls Prevention in Loughborough
Comprehensive home-based falls assessment and prevention in Loughborough, using validated tools (FRAT, Berg Balance, Tinetti) and tailored exercise programmes.
Falls Prevention at home in Loughborough
Loughborough sits between the LE11 town centre and the rolling Charnwood countryside, with a large student and older population around the university. Patients here are often managing post-operative recovery from QMC or Leicester Royal Infirmary, or stroke and falls rehab supported through Loughborough Hospital and the Charnwood community team.
In Loughborough, patients are most often discharged from Loughborough Hospital (LPT), Leicester Royal Infirmary, Glenfield Hospital. Local community services include Loughborough Hospital therapy unit (LPT), Charnwood Community Therapy, and Jay is happy to coordinate where helpful.
About this service
One in three adults over 65 falls each year, and the consequences — fractured hips, head injuries, loss of confidence — can change everything. The good news is that falls are largely preventable, and home is the best place to do that work.
Jay carries out the same comprehensive falls assessment used in NHS community teams, including FRAT (Falls Risk Assessment Tool), Berg Balance Scale and Tinetti, then builds a tailored strength-and-balance programme around your home and your goals.

Loughborough FAQs
I’ve only had one fall — is that enough to need physio?
Yes. Evidence is clear that any fall in the last year significantly increases the risk of another — and that’s the best moment to intervene.
Will you help me stop using my walking frame?
Sometimes that’s realistic, sometimes the safer goal is to use it more confidently. Jay is honest about what’s achievable and works to your priorities.
My elderly parent refuses to do exercises — can you help?
This is very common. Jay’s approach is to embed exercises into everyday tasks (kettle, kitchen, stairs) rather than ask people to do ‘sets and reps’.
Do you travel to Loughborough and surrounding villages?
Yes — Jay covers all of Loughborough including Shelthorpe, Hathern, Nanpantan, and the surrounding LE11, LE12 postcodes. Travel fees only apply for the most outlying villages and are confirmed on your free phone call.
My relative has just been discharged in Loughborough. Can you start straight away?
Hospital-to-home transitions are core to Jay’s NHS background. Where capacity allows, a same-week visit in Loughborough is usually possible. Get in touch directly to confirm.
