Speech-Language Therapy
Speech therapists are available to treat articulation, language, swallowing, voice and language disorders. Therapies may include: speech/language exercises, and instruction in prosthetic or alternative communication devices.
Medical Social Services
Provided by a qualified medical social worker to resolve social or emotional problems that are expected to be an impediment to the effective treatment of the patient's medical condition or rate of recovery. Social services may provide information on available community resources, short term counseling services required by the patient and/or patient's family member or caregiver when the home health agency can demonstrate that a brief intervention by a medical social worker is necessary to the effective treatment plan.
Home Health Aide Service
May be ordered by the physician to assist patient with bathing, dressing, grooming, caring for hair, nail and oral hygiene during a brief recovery period or to prevent deterioration of the patient's health. Qualifications for this service are dependent on patient's form of payment. Your Home Health professional can answer all questions regarding aide services.
