St Albans is where we are based, so this is the area we reach fastest. Neurological and elderly rehabilitation in your own home, with no referral needed and no waiting list.
Coverage
Where we visit in St Albans.
We cover every St Albans postcode. That includes the city centre and Verulam, Fleetville, Marshalswick, Jersey Farm, Sandridge, Bernards Heath, St Stephens, Chiswell Green and Napsbury.
Because we are based here, a first visit in St Albans can usually be arranged sooner than anywhere else we cover, which matters most in the first few weeks after someone comes home.
Postcodes: AL1, AL2, AL3 and AL4. There is no travel charge anywhere in our standard coverage area.
Local NHS services
Coming home from hospital in St Albans.
St Albans City Hospital is an elective care centre. It runs planned surgery, outpatient clinics and an urgent care hub by appointment, but it does not have an A&E department.
If your relative was admitted as an emergency, they were almost certainly at Watford General, the acute site for West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, and they will be discharged from there back into the St Albans community services.
That matters practically: the ward team who arranged the discharge and the community team who pick it up are often in different buildings ten miles apart, and the handover between them is where the delay usually sits.
Hospital and trust arrangements change. This describes the position as at August 2026 and is offered as general orientation, not as advice about your own care — your GP or hospital team can confirm what applies to you.
How we help
What we are usually called about.
- Stroke rehabilitation. Regaining movement, balance and walking after a stroke, at home in St Albans.
- Elderly rehabilitation and falls. Balance training, strength work and walking confidence for older adults.
- The gap after hospital discharge. Assessment and a programme in the weeks before NHS community physiotherapy begins.
We are a home-visit practice, so everything happens in your own front room, on your own stairs, with your own furniture. That is not a compromise on clinic-based treatment — for balance, walking and falls it is the more useful setting.
Questions we are asked about St Albans.
How quickly can you get to us in St Albans?
St Albans is our home patch, so this is the quickest area we cover. A first assessment can usually be arranged within a few days, and often sooner if someone has just come out of hospital.
Is there a travel charge?
No. There is no travel charge anywhere in St Albans, whichever postcode you are in.
Do we need a GP referral?
No. You can call us directly. We are happy to hear from GPs, discharge coordinators and hospital therapy teams too, but you do not need a referral to book.
Working with the NHS
Alongside, not instead of.
Using private physiotherapy does not remove your NHS entitlement and does not take you off an NHS waiting list. You keep your place.
With your consent we share our assessment and programme with your community team, GP or consultant, so they inherit a measured baseline rather than starting from a blank page.
When NHS input starts properly, most families reduce or stop. That is the intended outcome, and we will tell you when we think you have reached it.
