Why Choose Home Visits in Blandford Forum?
Blandford Forum is a beautiful market town in North Dorset, but getting to clinic appointments often means travelling to Poole or Dorchester — not always practical after surgery, a hospital stay, or when mobility is limited. Our home visit service brings expert rehabilitation directly to your door, so you can focus entirely on your recovery.
Treatment in Your Environment
We assess and treat you in your own home — practising on your stairs, using your furniture, and identifying real hazards in your living space.
No Travel Required
No need to arrange lifts or navigate rural roads. We come to you — whether you're in the town centre, out towards Sturminster Newton, or in the surrounding villages.
Consistent Care
You'll typically see the same therapist each visit, building a relationship and ensuring continuity of care — unlike busy hospital services.

Learn About Our Care Home ServicesFAQs
Do you visit the smaller villages outside of Blandford?
Yes, we cover Blandford Forum and the wider North Dorset area, including surrounding villages like Sturminster Newton, Pimperne, Spetisbury, and Milborne St Andrew. Please call us to confirm we can reach your specific address.
Can you help after a stay at Blandford Community Hospital?
Absolutely. We frequently help clients transition home after a stay in Blandford Community Hospital or Dorset County Hospital. Our therapists focus on rebuilding the strength and confidence needed for daily life.
What's the difference between physiotherapy and occupational therapy?
In simple terms, a physiotherapist helps you improve your movement, strength, and balance — for example, learning to walk again after a hip replacement. An occupational therapist helps you manage daily tasks safely and independently — for example, finding new ways to get dressed or preparing a meal.

Initial assessments are £120 (60–90 min). Follow-up sessions start from £60. The first 5 miles of travel are free. View our full price list.
