Services

Physical Therapy

We can help you improve your strength, balance, confidence, and endurance, prevent falls, return to an active lifestyle, restore the ability to walk indoors and outdoors, improve stair climbing ability, decrease pain, and decrease shortness of breath. Physical therapists also educate caregivers and family, and prescribe home exercise programs.

“Among older adults receiving care at a fall prevention clinic after a fall, a home-based strength and balance retraining exercise program significantly reduced the rate of subsequent falls compared with usual care provided by a geriatrician.”

Theresa Liu-Ambrose, PT, PhD

Many older adults are fearful of falling; our PT treatment sessions can help improve walking confidence, speed, and quality. Because we work in your home, our PT can identify any fall risk issues in your own environment.

PT treatments can focus on joint flexibility, muscle strength, and stability. We improve our clients’ balance and address vertigo and dizziness. We also address chronic and acute pain.

Occupational Therapy

As adults age, tasks which were once second-nature become more challenging. We help improve activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing, toileting, grooming, and self-feeding. We also help with medication management, meal-preparation, and household management. OT can address the need for environmental changes in the home to increase safety and decrease fall-risk. In addition, we assist with stress-management for caregivers.

“OTs actively involve the client in the fall prevention process to better understand individual fall risk factors and intervention priorities. Teaching clients how to identify and solve problems is an important part of the occupational therapy process.”

Elizabeth Walker Peterson, PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA

Occupational Therapy can address the overall wellness of a client by working on stress-reduction techniques, pain reduction, and by prescribing exercise programs for the upper body, posture, and core muscles.

Clients and caregivers alike benefit from OT treatments for dementia and progressive neurological conditions like Parkinson’s Diesease and ALS. Treatments increase client independence, thereby reducing the responsibilities of caregivers.

Speech Therapy

We help you regain communication, cognitive, and swallowing abilities—all tailored to boost your confidence and independence. Our speech therapists work with clients to enhance clarity of speech, expressive and receptive language skills, and memory-based communication. They support safe swallowing and coughing mechanisms, which is particularly important after illness or neurological injury.

Highlights of our Speech Therapy services:

  • Improving speech clarity, volume, and intelligibility

  • Enhancing expressive language (getting your ideas across) and receptive language (understanding others)

  • Strengthening cognitive-communication skills: memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive function

  • Assessing and addressing swallowing and feeding challenges, including safety and dietary modifications

  • Customizing communication strategies, augmentative & alternative communication (AAC) tools when needed

  • Educating and supporting caregivers and family members in effective communication and safe feeding techniques

  • Designing home-based exercises and activities to reinforce therapy goals in real life settings

Because we deliver therapy in your home, we can observe natural communication environments and identify potential challenges—like background distraction or unsafe mealtimes—and help adapt them to optimize safety and communication.
