Sound familiar?

A fall, a surgery or a health change can put life on hold

You've had a fall, or you're worried about one

Walks get a little shorter, the stairs feel like a big deal, and getting down to the floor is out of the question.

You're recovering from surgery or a health change

A new hip or knee, a stroke or Parkinson's. Getting your strength back is a lot easier with someone guiding you.

Mom or Dad isn't as steady as they used to be

You're helping out more than you used to, and you'd love to see them confident and doing things for themselves again.

Getting older shouldn't mean giving up the things you love.

Helping families since 2004

Co-Founder & Physiotherapist

Jillian started PhysioCare At Home in Halifax in 2004. As a physiotherapist, she wanted to give each person a full hour of her time in their own home, not 15 rushed minutes in a clinic. Stephen looked after everything behind the scenes so she could do just that. More than 20 years later, we connect families in 15 communities with clinicians who bring the same patience and care to every visit.

“Seniors should always have hope that their health can improve — and that they can live a vibrant, independent life.”

Our Foundational Principles

What you can expect along the way, wherever you're starting from.

Progress is possible

Progress is Possible

Progress rarely arrives all at once. It shows up quietly: standing a little steadier, feeling surer on the stairs, an everyday task taking less effort. Wherever you're starting from, small wins add up.

Movement is medicine

Movement is Medicine

Movement doesn't have to be long or perfect to make a difference. A few gentle exercises woven into your day build the strength behind getting up from a chair and moving around your home with confidence.

Consistency is key

Consistency is Key

Consistency isn't doing everything, all the time. It's a gentle rhythm you can come back to, and your therapist is there to help you keep it. Miss a day? Simply start again.

Health is wealth

Health is Wealth

Not wealth in the flashy sense, but more of what makes every day feel possible: comfort, confidence, energy and the freedom to keep doing what matters most to you.

What families tell us

Rated 4.9 by families on Google

I felt extremely well cared for and thrived under Jillian's encouragement and unfailing optimism. Through her expert guidance and attention to every aspect involved, I have managed to resume walking our energetic dogs and enjoying work in our garden.

Trudy

He is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and I feel he is invested in helping me get stronger. He knows how important maintaining an active lifestyle is for me and he is doing his best to help me achieve specific goals, like hiking around my favourite lake.

Sue

Her ability to assess and treat with patience and compassion has been second-to-none. We have seen our parents have increasing confidence with mobility aids, improved balance and strength.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a doctor's referral?

Usually not. You can start physiotherapy, occupational therapy or kinesiology without a doctor's referral. Some insurance plans ask for one before they'll reimburse you, so we'll check that with you before the first visit.

How soon can someone come out?

Once you get in touch, we'll call to go over the details and match you with a clinician who already works in your area. We'll give you an honest start date on that call.

Is in-home therapy covered by insurance?

Most extended health plans cover in-home physiotherapy and occupational therapy, and we can bill many insurers directly. Veterans Affairs Canada also covers eligible veterans.

What happens during the first visit?

Your clinician checks strength, balance, pain and mobility, and looks at how you get around your home: the stairs, the bathroom and your daily routine. Together, with family there if you'd like, you'll set goals and make a plan. Treatment usually starts that same visit.
