At Bentleys Home Care, our Physical, Social & Psychological Recovery (PSPR) service is designed to help people regain confidence, rebuild routines and improve their overall wellbeing in the comfort of their own home.
Unlike traditional care visits that are often limited to short time slots, PSPR visits typically last between 2 and 3 hours, allowing meaningful support that focuses on recovery rather than simply completing tasks.
Recovering from illness, a hospital stay, reduced mobility, or a loss of confidence can be challenging. For many older adults, the journey back to independence takes time, support and encouragement.

Supporting Recovery At Home
When someone experiences illness, injury, hospital discharge, or a period of decline, everyday activities can suddenly feel more difficult. Confidence may be affected, mobility can reduce, and social isolation often increases
Our PSPR service provides person centred support that focuses on the whole individual.
- Rebuild confidence and independence
- Regain daily routines
- Improve physical activity and mobility
- Stay socially connected
- Reduce feelings of loneliness and isolation
- Maintain emotional wellbeing
- Continue living safely and comfortably at home
Every recovery journey is different, which is why each PSPR support plan is tailored to the individual.
The Challenges Families Face
When a loved one becomes less independent, family members often find themselves taking on additional responsibilities.
Many families suddenly become carers while balancing work, family commitments and their own wellbeing. This can create emotional and physical strain, particularly when support needs increase following illness or hospital discharge.
Traditional care visits are often too short to provide the level of support needed during recovery. Families can feel overwhelmed trying to fill the gap between visits while ensuring their loved one remains safe, active and engaged.
Our PSPR service helps reduce that pressure.
By providing longer, more meaningful visits, we support both the individual and their family, giving everyone greater peace of mind.
Physical, Social, and psychological Recovery
Our PSPR service take a whole person approach, suporting clients acrpss all three dimensions of recovery
Physical Recovery
Maintaining physical activity plays an important role in recovery and independence.
Our team encourages and supports clients to remain active within their abilities, helping them rebuild confidence in daily activities and maintain mobility.
Support may include:
- Gentle encouragement with movement and activity
- Assistance with daily routines
- Support attending appointments
- Accompanied walks where appropriate
- Encouragement to remain physically active and engaged
Our focus is always on helping people do as much as possible for themselves while providing the support they need.
Social Recovery
Isolation can have a significant impact on health and wellbeing.
Many people become socially withdrawn following illness, injury or a loss of confidence. Our PSPR service helps individuals reconnect with their community and maintain meaningful social interaction.
Support may include:
- Friendly companionship and conversation
- Support with hobbies and interests
- Accompanied outings
- Visits to local cafés, groups and community activities
- Encouragement to stay connected with friends and family
Social engagement is a key part of maintaining wellbeing and independence.
Psychological Recovery
Confidence can often be one of the biggest casualties following illness or a period of decline.
Many people become anxious about leaving home, completing daily activities or returning to previous routines.
Our carers provide encouragement, reassurance and emotional support to help individuals regain confidence at their own pace.
Through regular visits and trusted relationships, we help clients feel more positive, capable and in control of their daily lives.
Why Longer Visits Matter
Recovery cannot be rushed.
Short visits may allow essential tasks to be completed, but they rarely provide enough time to focus on meaningful recovery and wellbeing.
Our PSPR visits typically last 2 to 3 hours and can be arranged several times per week depending on individual needs.
This gives us the opportunity to provide genuine support, meaningful interaction and personalised encouragement that helps people move forward with confidence.
