What families tell us

I felt extremely well cared for and thrived under Jillian's encouragement and unfailing optimism. Through her expert guidance and attention to every aspect involved, I have managed to resume walking our energetic dogs and enjoying work in our garden.

Trudy

He is knowledgeable, professional, respectful, and I feel he is invested in helping me get stronger. He knows how important maintaining an active lifestyle is for me and he is doing his best to help me achieve specific goals, like hiking around my favourite lake.

Sue

Her ability to assess and treat with patience and compassion has been second-to-none. We have seen our parents have increasing confidence with mobility aids, improved balance and strength.

Our Foundational Principles

The beliefs that guide every visit and every care plan.

Progress is possible

Progress is Possible

Progress rarely arrives all at once. It often shows up quietly — standing a little steadier, feeling surer on the stairs, a daily task taking less effort. With the right plan, repeated with care, small wins add up.

Movement is medicine

Movement is Medicine

Movement doesn't have to be long or perfectly planned to be worthwhile. A few gentle repetitions woven into your day help build the everyday strength behind rising from a chair and moving around your home with confidence.

Consistency is key

Consistency is Key

Consistency isn't doing everything, all the time — it's a gentle rhythm you can return to. Small habits, anchored to your day, matter more than waiting for the perfect moment. Miss a day? You simply begin again.

Health is wealth

Health is Wealth

Health is wealth — not in the flashy sense, but in having more of what makes daily life feel possible: comfort, confidence, energy, and the freedom to keep doing what matters to you.

Meet Jillian

Co-Founder & Physiotherapist

She founded PhysioCare At Home in Halifax in 2004, after finding that seeing seniors in their own homes allowed for deeper connections than the fast-paced clinic environment ever could.

“Seniors should always have hope that their health can improve — and that they can live a vibrant, independent life.”

Frequently asked questions

Do we need a doctor's referral?

In most cases, no. Physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and kinesiology can all be started without a physician's referral. Some extended health plans and funding programs do require one before they will reimburse, so we check this with you before the first visit rather than leaving you to find out later.

How soon can someone come out?

Once you request an assessment, we call to confirm the details and match you with a clinician who already works in your area. Timing depends on availability in that specific catchment, and we give you a realistic date on that call rather than a promise we cannot keep.

Is in-home therapy covered by insurance?

Most extended health and private insurance plans do cover in-home physiotherapy & occupational therapy.  Funding is also available through Veterans Affairs Canada for eligible clients.

What happens during the first visit?

Your clinician assesses strength, balance, pain, and mobility, and looks at the home itself — stairs, bathrooms, thresholds, and the routines of daily life. They talk goals through with the client, and with anyone else the client wants involved, then build a care plan. Treatment usually begins in that same visit.

Every clinician is registered with their provincial college
