Home health care agencies serve patients with wide-ranging needs including those patients needing skilled rehabilitation services.

To determine your need for skilled physical therapy or speech therapy consider the following questions:

Are you or your loved ones….

1)    …having difficulty accessing their environment such as bathroom or shower?

2)   ….having difficulty with functional mobility tasks such as getting in and out of bed, up and down from a chair, or navigating steps/stairs.

3)     ….needing training on the use of an assistive device such as a cane, walker, or wheelchair?

4)    …..having difficulty swallowing such as coughing on water, food, medications?

5)    …. having difficulty understanding what others are expressing, or trouble expressing themselves (word finding, word choice, and pronunciation)?

6)  ….having a recent onset of memory or problem-solving issues?

 

Your physician can help determine what skilled therapy services you might benefit from and order home health care for your loved one today.
