We provide specialist home therapy services for the elderly to promote health & well-being by increasing safety & independence in all areas of life. Our frail elderly should have access to specialist health professionals when confronted with a major life event such as an illness, injury or disability. At Able Ageing we are skilled and experienced in the comprehensive assessment and management of some of the main causes of frailty including:

Musculoskeletal conditions | Dementia and delirium | Falls | Neurological conditions | Worsening mobility | Psychological issues | General medical conditions | Hospital admissions

Elderly people are of the most vulnerable in society, but unfortunately often unheard. At Able Ageing, we take pride in listening to and advocating for the needs of our clients and their families. As a specialist service, we are determined to provide effective, compassionate, high-quality care. Our main aims are to:

Increase safety and independence.
Reduce the risk of unnecessary hospital admissions.
Increase rehabilitative potential and reduce dependence on home care.
Prevent unwanted, unnecessary institutionalised care.
Improve health outcomes and quality of life.

Why Able Ageing?

~Evidence-based rehabilitation~
…to maintain and increase independence thereby supporting people to live well in their own homes.

~Reducing the need for home care~
Occupational therapists are best placed to assess a person’s capacity to live independently in all areas of life. Most home care agencies do not offer comprehensive assessment of a person’s functional abilities by a qualified therapist thereby potentially recommending inadequate levels of expensive care packages. Able Ageing does not have affiliation to any care agencies therefore providing highly accurate and personalised professional advice.


~Carer support~
In many cases unpaid families deliver the bulk of care affecting their own physical and mental health. Able Ageing aim to help reduce carer strain and offer peace of mind.

~Home is where the heart is~
…which is why we provide skilled intervention to reduce the likelihood of unplanned, unnecessary hospital admission and institutionalised care.

~Cost reduction~
Research demonstrates that care costs can be reduced as much as 60% after using a specialist rehabilitative service.

~No lengthy waiting lists~
…thereby reducing the potential of a decline in functional ability and increasing safety in the home.
