Our service is called “cardiac services,” but the AHA focuses on heart failure, so that’s the overall umbrella under which we focus.

We can help with IV infusion of Inotropic medication, assist with left ventricular assisting devices (LVAD), provide comprehensive assessments and provide strategies for energy conservation through PT and OT.

The two most common surgeries are knee replacements and hip replacements.

Meeting patients in their homes allows us to personally witness any daily challenges they face, so we can adjust their customized care plan accordingly. Our home health therapists also teach key techniques to regular caregivers, family and friends, so they may further assist in recovery.

• We work closely with primary care physicians to create personalized treatment plans to aid in patients’ recoveries.
• After a hospital discharge, we provide physical and occupational therapy, as ordered by a patient’s  physician, along with guidance on assorted activities for healthy daily living.
• We provide safety tips, exercises and educational materials to optimize a patient’s post-op recovery.

Both LOUD and BIG treatments consist of 16 sessions for 4 consecutive days a week over 4 weeks. Each session is one hour with daily homework practice and carryover exercises.

The fact we have 22 certified LSVT clinicians in our Rehab Staff makes us better-equipped to provide the large volume of patients we get who require this therapy.

The principles of LSVT LOUD were applied to limb movement and have been documented to be effective in patients’ diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. This protocol was developed specifically to address the patients’ unique movement impairments through many repetitions of core movements that are used in daily living. Initiating the LSVT BIG program early in disease progress has the greatest impact on the quality of life but can be started at any time with a referral to the program from a physician.

Virtually every person with Parkinson’s disease will develop problems with speech that start early in the disease process. Medicine and neurosurgery typically don’t help speech disorders. The most effective way to improve speech is through speech therapy. The LSVT LOUD program was developed in 1987 and has been scientifically studied for nearly 20 years. The treatment does not train people for shouting or yelling; rather LSVT LOUD uses loudness training to bring the voice to an improved healthy vocal loudness with no strain.

Our home health services may work with a Wound Care Center depending on the nature of the wound.

Yes. One of our goals is for people to stay in their home instead of being admitted to the hospital, and that means being able to independently care for wounds that aren’t too complex. If it’s a superficial wound, we want caregivers and patients to be able to care for it themselves.

We try to identify a particular last wish a patient may have, something they’ve wanted to do that’s attainable and we could help facilitate. We will work with other third party providers and see how we can provide that for our patient.

We provide bereavement services for 13 months after a patient passes per Medicare requirements to help them get through the first year of milestones, but if a caregiver needs a little more help than 13 months, we are still committed to providing services.
