In-Home Physical Therapy
With At Home Health and Wellness, your physical therapy needs will not be delayed when you are in need of this ever-important service.
This is significant because:
It has become increasingly apparent to most people who seek medical care on a somewhat regular basis that waiting times are being pushed further and further into the future!
Basic tests for medical diagnosis can have lengthy delays, often leaving those in need having to schedule several months out.
Surgical procedure waiting times, seeking custom made orthotics, being able to start with home health after a hospital or Skilled Nursing stay wait times are increasing by weeks after the needed time frame.
Insurance delays or denials are oftentimes the cause of postponement of needed care.
Outpatient physical therapy centers offer 30 minute time slots or worse yet, a shared time slot with another patient where you are unable to get the undivided attention personalized therapy plan that you need.
All of these scenarios create frustration and decreased quality and timeliness of needed care for people.
With At Home Health and Wellness, your physical therapy needs will be provided for you within a few days of your initial contact with Lori. She recognizes that your needs for therapy are important now! You are given one-on-one personal time with each session which lasts 60 full minutes in the comfort and privacy of your own home.
