IN-HOME THERAPY: RECUPERATE. RESTORE. REGAIN.
Rehabilitative therapy is a key component in overcoming challenges associated with age, illness, or injury, particularly for patients with limited mobility.
Physicians frequently prescribe physical or occupational therapy to aid in the rehabilitation process and facilitate the return to daily life and activities.
Providing therapy within the secure confines of one’s home is vital for a comprehensive healing journey, addressing the interconnected aspects of the mind, body, and spirit, and achieving favorable outcomes.
With a focus on wellness and functionality, our therapy and rehabilitation services are designed to help individuals regain mobility and strength at their own pace, all within the comfort and privacy of their home.
Individualized Care
With in-home therapy, the patient has the undivided attention of their therapist. This translates to a higher quality of care and better outcomes overall.
Convenience & Accessibility
Many homebound patients find it comforting to receive treatment in a familiar place, allowing them to focus on their care with few distractions.
Prevent Falls & Other Injuries
The therapist is trained to spot fall risks and other hazards within the home. By identifying and eliminating these dangers, they can help the patient avoid additional injury.
Practicality
By delivering treatment where the patient lives and performs day-to-day tasks, the therapist can provide instruction that is clear, meaningful, and helpful.
IN-HOME PHYSICAL THERAPY (PT)
Physical therapy is instrumental in assisting patients in attaining their highest level of functional independence, with a primary focus on restoring normal mobility to enable a return to activities they enjoy.
Addressing functional abilities affected by age, illness, or injury, physical therapy targets issues like difficulty walking, weakness, balance deficits, falls, dizziness, vertigo, and other physical challenges. Additionally, physical therapists aid patients in adapting to and utilizing adaptive devices such as front-wheel walkers, all-terrain walkers, or canes.
The approach of physical therapy encompasses a wellness plan tailored to the patient’s specific strengths, range of motion, gait and balance flexibility, posture, and overall body awareness.
Improves endurance | Enhances posture (walking technique) | Increases mobility, motor control and strength | Improves coordination | Eases pain | Addresses balance | Promotes safety awareness
Boosts strength, coordination and balance | Improves specific self-care skills | Promotes confidence in safely performing activities of daily living | Prevents self-limiting behaviors which could result in decreased activity and increased risk of falls.
IN-HOME OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY (OT)
Occupational therapy (OT) focuses on enhancing activities of daily living and assisting individuals of all ages in reclaiming and maintaining their previous levels of capability in tasks such as dressing, grooming, bathing, toileting, transfers, cooking, housekeeping, and home management—referred to as occupations. OT aims to help patients and their families adapt to their environment, modify tasks, and utilize equipment to enhance participation in all aspects of their daily lives.
This rehabilitative therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with injury, illness, or the challenges of aging. It addresses feelings of frustration associated with dependence on caregivers and isolation from enjoyable hobbies, fostering a sense of joy and independence. OT empowers patients to gain confidence in safely performing daily activities, promoting independence and preventing self-limiting behaviors that may lead to reduced activity and an increased risk of falls.
IN-HOME SPEECH THERAPY
Speech therapy focuses on improving communication skills and swallowing abilities. A significant aspect of a speech therapist’s role is helping people regain the ability to eat, swallow, and engage in reading and writing, particularly after a stroke or brain injury.
Services delivered at home offer personalized one-on-one interaction in a comfortable environment. These services address a broad range of challenges, including swallowing, speech, language, voice, cognition, orientation skills, and problem-solving.
Therapy activities can be customized to address practical, real-life needs, and the home setting allows for tailoring each patient’s care plan to their specific environmental and social requirements.
The benefits of speech therapy include improvements in communication skills, swallowing abilities, reading and writing skills, and cognitive ability. Many individuals face communication issues after a stroke, brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, or other medical conditions. Therapists identify the problems and provide treatment to enhance the patient’s ability to communicate and make safe decisions.
Improves speech and voice clarity| Increases comprehension and verbal expression | Improves chewing and swallowing ability | Maximizes cognitive language skills: memory, problem-solving, and abstract reasonin
