Home-based Rehabilitation

Home based rehabilitation is an alternative model that aims to improve uptake and access and has been shown to have equivalent clinical outcomes to centre-based programs.The biggest advantage for the patients for home-based treatment is that they feel comfortable in a familiar environment.

A home based program may be best suited for patients who:

• Do not live near a centre-based program.

• Do not own a car or have difficulty with public transport

• Have work commitments that do not allow them to attend a centre-based program

• Would prefer not to exercise in a group

• Like the flexibility of being able to exercise when it suits them

• Are medically unsuitable for a group-based program e.g. immunocompromised
