At Catholic Health, our specialized rehabilitation services are an essential part of the home care we provide.
The opportunity for patients to complete rehabilitation at home puts the patient at ease and gives loved ones peace of mind, as they continue to heal and receive care. With a focus on patient experience, these programs are tailored to meet each individual’s needs.
Each patient’s journey begins with a comprehensive assessment to determine which skilled services you are most likely to benefit from.
Falls are the leading cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries in those over the age of 65. As part of the services we provide, our expert team will perform a fall prevention assessment. This will include recommendations to help prevent falls throughout various areas of the home.
Our physical therapists perform a functional assessment of every patient at the beginning of their rehab program. Exercise-based therapy is determined by need, and may include gait training or fall prevention.
Certified wound therapists will treat patients who may have non-healing wounds following a surgical procedure or due to a chronic condition. Different techniques and modalities are prescribed based on the circumstances present.
Expert speech therapists work closely with patients who may require treatment for speech and communication disabilities, as well as problems swallowing. Stroke survivors and patients living with neurological conditions may also be recommended for speech therapy.
Proper nutrition is an important component of any successful recovery. Support services from a registered dietitian are available to home care patients, as well as enteral nutrition guidelines.
Social workers assess an individual’s emotional and social needs, and may help with financial planning and long-term goals. Referrals to outside agencies and resources are available.
