Allied health can significantly affect function and wellbeing. Ask what physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech pathology, and podiatry support is available, how often residents are reviewed, and how referrals are prioritised. Confirm whether services are proactive or mainly reactive after decline. Ask how progress is measured and shared with families. Homes with strong allied health coordination often support better mobility and independence outcomes. This area is frequently overlooked during selection, but it matters for long-term quality of care.
