Individualized Treatment Plan

A plan of care is designed to meet each patient’s individual needs.  The team will focus on helping the patient regain the ability to live life as independently as possible, revising the patient’s treatment plan as each new goal is met.  The plan may include:

Skilled Nursing

A nurse develops a plan of treatment with the doctor, patient and family.  Nursing services may include physical exams, wound care, catheter care, IV therapy, tracheostomy care, colostomy care and patient and family teaching.

Physical Therapy

A physical therapist helps the patient to meet their  needs, which may include pain relief, prevention of further disability and/or restoring function.  Home exercise programs  are customized to each patient’s needs.

Occupational Therapy

An occupational therapist helps the patient to improve activities of daily living.  This may include increasing independence with self-care and other functional tasks.

Speech/Language Pathology

A speech pathologist will help patients requiring assistance with speaking, comprehension, pronunciation and swallowing.

Medical Social Work Services

The social worker helps the patient and family to address personal, social, emotional or financial needs.

Home Health Aide Services

These services serve as a supplement to those provided by the other home health clinicians.  Aides may assist with bathing, grooming, routine exercises and light household tasks.

Family Involvement

Family members are an essential part of the treatment team, and their involvement is vital to the patient’s success in rehabilitation.  We encourage the family to observe and participate in educational sessions and ask questions throughout the patient’s home care program.
