Falls Prevention in Melton Mowbray
Comprehensive home-based falls assessment and prevention in Melton Mowbray, using validated tools (FRAT, Berg Balance, Tinetti) and tailored exercise programmes.
Falls Prevention at home in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray and the surrounding villages of Asfordby, Burton Lazars and the Vale of Belvoir are largely rural, where travel to a clinic in Leicester or Grantham is a significant barrier. Jay covers patients recovering at home after admission to Melton Mowbray Hospital, Leicester Royal Infirmary or Grantham, including stroke, falls and orthopaedic rehab.
In Melton Mowbray, patients are most often discharged from Melton Mowbray Hospital (LPT), Leicester Royal Infirmary, Grantham & District Hospital. Local community services include Melton, Rutland & Harborough Community Therapy, Melton Mowbray Hospital therapy unit, 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.

Melton Mowbray 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 Melton Mowbray and surrounding villages?
Yes — Jay covers all of Melton Mowbray including Asfordby, Burton Lazars, Scalford, and the surrounding LE13, LE14 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 Melton Mowbray. Can you start straight away?
Hospital-to-home transitions are core to Jay’s NHS background. Where capacity allows, a same-week visit in Melton Mowbray is usually possible. Get in touch directly to confirm.
