Home Health Care
Portage Physical Therapists, Inc. feels that some of the best therapy is started at home. Home care services have been provided to patients in Portage and Summit counties since the mid 1970’s. Therapy services can include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy services that are delivered within the patient’s home. These patients can include an individual in the recovery process, learning to adjust to a new disability, or dealing with a chronic condition. More and more older individuals are electing to live independently despite diminishing capabilities. Younger adults who are disabled or recuperating from acute illness/injuries also choose home care. Chronically ill infants and children may also benefit from therapy in their loving and secure home environments. For patients and their families home care provides a sense of independence, privacy and control.
In-Home Physical Therapy services may include:
- Evaluation for home needs including recommendations for home modifications to make life “easier”
- Establishing and teaching various exercise and activities
- Gait and transfer training
- Instructing patients and caretakers in use of medical equipment such as walkers, canes, prosthetics and other orthopaedic devices
