Kenton Valley Aged Care Speech Pathology Industry Leaders
Older adults deserve to communicate with confidence, enjoy mealtimes safely and stay connected to the people and routines that matter most. Our Aged Care Speech Pathology service supports these goals through gentle, person-centred therapy delivered in the comfort of home.
Whether you’re an older adult, a family member or part of a Support at Home team, we help people feel stronger, move better and think clearer through evidence-based communication and swallowing support. We come to you wherever possible, and telehealth is available for clients who prefer online sessions.
Our national team of experienced speech pathologists work closely with carers, families and providers to create practical, achievable plans that support day-to-day independence.
Speech Pathology to help our adults to maintain their language, enjoyment, swallowing and comfort.
Physio Inq Speech Pathologists have a vital and essential role in working with elderly people in our communities. Our Speech Pathologists can identify the issues that are making the greatest impact on a senior's life and help them work to improve those, leading to a better quality of life and continued independence.
Our Aged Care Speech Pathologists are experienced in the assessment, treatment, and long-term management of older people.
Whether that treatment and assessment is in homes, hospitals, aged care facilities, retirement villages, or nursing homes, our Physio Inq Aged Care Speech Pathologists come directly to where ever you want them. This removes the trauma and difficulty of having to travel to appointments, meaning elderly patients can get the care they need quickly.
