Luxury care home The Chase is partnering with a specialist rehab provider to offer short-term accommodation to older people recovering from illness and injury.

The Huntingdon care home, part of the Connaught Care Collection, will offer short-term accommodation and rehabilitation services to older people recovering from illness, injury, joint operations, or medical events like stroke. 

The home is partnering with Therapies on Thames, a specialist provider of inpatient rehabilitation and post-op recovery services, to deliver the scheme. Under an all-inclusive fee, participants will temporarily stay at the home and receive weekly physiotherapy sessions, nutritional planning, tailored health and wellbeing advice, and round-the-clock care.

Stephen Orwin, life enrichment and wellbeing coordinator at Connaught Care, said that when elderly people are discharged from hospital after an extended stay, they can be at a loss on how to transition back to ordinary life. “That’s why we are delighted to be working with Therapies on Thames to offer recovering people the support, guidance, and resources they need all in one place,” he said.

Participants, who will have access to The Chase’s amenities including a spa, gym and cinema, will receive seven therapy sessions each week and regular assessments to track their progress and adjust their care plans. Once patients are discharged, they will have regular check-ins to ensure their recovery stays on track. 

The Chase hopes that including participants in its regular schedule of social events and activities will help make their recovery smoother and more enjoyable.
