Overview
Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy at home with Avistacare
Recovering from an illness, injury or surgery can make everyday activities feel difficult. Our physical, occupational and speech therapy services are designed to help you regain function, improve safety and return to the routines that matter most to you, all within the familiar surroundings of your own home.
Each therapy program begins with an evaluation by a licensed therapist, who works with you and your family to set realistic, meaningful goals. From there, we create a personalized therapy plan and adjust it as you progress. Because therapy happens at home, exercises and strategies are practiced in the exact spaces where you live, such as your stairs, your kitchen and your bathroom, which makes the skills easier to carry into daily life.
Our three therapy disciplines often work together. A person recovering from a stroke, for example, may benefit from physical therapy for balance and walking, occupational therapy for dressing and self-care, and speech therapy for communication or swallowing, all coordinated within one plan of care.
What our Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy service includes
Our therapy team brings three complementary disciplines into your home:
Physical Therapy
Focused on strength, balance, mobility and endurance. Physical therapists help you move more safely, walk with more confidence and reduce the risk of falls.
Occupational Therapy
Focused on the everyday activities of living, such as bathing, dressing, grooming and preparing meals, using adaptive techniques and equipment where helpful.
Speech Therapy
Focused on communication, cognition and swallowing. Speech therapists help with speaking, understanding, memory and safe swallowing after illness or injury.
Home Safety Recommendations
Practical suggestions for your living space so you can move around more safely and independently.
Caregiver Training
Guidance for family members on how to assist safely with transfers, exercises and daily routines.
Progress Tracking
Regular reassessment of your goals so the plan keeps pace with your recovery.
Who can benefit from Physical, Occupational & Speech Therapy?
In-home therapy can help people recovering from surgery such as joint replacement, those regaining strength after a hospital stay, individuals recovering from a stroke or other neurological event, and anyone experiencing changes in mobility, daily function, speech or swallowing.
Receiving therapy at home also removes the stress of travel to outpatient appointments, which can be especially valuable when getting in and out of a car is itself a challenge.
