Rehabilitation Services
Home Health and Hospice Care’s rehabilitation services are designed to help patients overcome their limitations in order to move, work, communicate and live more freely. Like our home health nurses, our team of home rehabilitation therapists works under the supervision of a patient’s physician to provide advanced therapy designed to serve the patient’s personal needs. The following therapies are available:
Physical Therapy
The concentration of physical therapy is on improving the lower body. With the help of our physical therapist, patients build strength, improved mobility and develop greater confidence through special exercises and physical training.
People with circulatory problems, arthritis or joint replacements often need this type of therapy. Those recovering from muscular injuries or a recent amputation can also benefit from the assistance of physical therapy.
Our physical therapists work on balance, fall prevention, and ways to make your home environment safer after an injury or hospitalization.
Occupational Therapy
The focus of occupational therapy is on improving the upper body. Our occupational therapists teach patients with limitations resulting from injuries, disabilities or disease, how to live and work as independently as possible. These therapists help patients make the most of their remaining abilities through the use of specialized exercises, equipment and training.

Speech Therapy
Speech problems can be caused by learning disabilities or disorders of the nervous system, as well as by physical conditions such as diseases or injuries. Through speech therapy, we can help those patients develop skills that enable them to think and express themselves more clearly.
Medical Social Work
Specially trained medical social workers help people learn to live with the emotional and social pressures of illnesses and injuries. They share with their patients techniques and information for finding new strength within themselves and advise them where to turn for the support and comfort of others in the community.
