Therapies

Physical Therapy

Indian River Home Care physical therapists collaborate closely with our nurses, occupational therapists, speech language pathologists and nursing assistants to revitalize and rehabilitate our patients.

Physical therapy services are provided under the order of a physician, or privately if requested, and include developing a personalized plan of care, implementing individualized exercise routine, training on proper use of assistive devices, assisting with medication management, suggesting home modifications and performing physical assessments. Our “One Step Ahead” program also supports recovery and safety by identifying hazards, assessing precautions and documents slips and trips for re-evaluation.

Occupational Therapy

Occupational therapy complements both physical therapy and speech therapy by helping patients to develop, recover and maintain the skills needed to perform personal daily activities and carry out the routines they have become accustomed to. Indian River Home Care occupational therapists use an array of techniques to assist with these activities, which include bathing, dressing, laundry and cooking. Our occupational therapists also use supporting practices, such as Tai Chi, meditation and energy work, to promote healing and strength conservation.

Speech Therapy

While speech therapy for seniors is often advised following a stroke or head injury, and involves teaching safe swallowing techniques and functional communication methods, Indian River Home Care speech language pathologists also specialize in dementia and cognitive therapy.

With routine cerebral exercises, such as working on puzzles, sorting cards or folding laundry, patients with various types of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s, can increase their independence and improve their communication.
