• Encourage patient/family-focused solutions
• Facilitate an effective and/or preventative approach to the tremendous personal cost of skin breakdown
• Provide treatment options that will promote rapid healing

Joint Replacement Program

We offer a comprehensive program to assist you in achieving the best outcomes from joint replacement surgery. Education and training begin with a pre-surgical assessment by a physical therapist in your home to provide information on:

• What to expect during your hospital stay and upon returning home
• Post-operative education regarding wound care, medication, pain control and precautions
• How to prepare your home for optimal rehabilitation
• Post-operative exercise program and equipment training

Following your procedure, our home health clinicians will come back to your home to provide:

• Nursing and therapy services in your home following surgery
• Post-surgical care per your physician orders and efficient progress reports
  

Pre-Surgical Joint Replacement Visits

Patients planning to undergo hip or knee replacement surgery can reduce their fears and anxiety by receiving one-on-one education in their homes from a physical therapist who helps them prepare for surgery and make plans for post-operative care. Beyond ensuring home safety, the pre-surgical joint replacement visit identifies many other issues, including medical equipment needs and post-operative exercises to speed recovery.

A physician’s order or referral is required to purchase this assessment because it includes a patient assessment in addition to an assessment of the home environment before surgery.

Assessments can be purchased for a small fee by calling 331-221-5400.

Bridge Program

This program is uniquely offered by our home health agency. Our specialized care team is led by a Certified Hospice and Palliative Care Nurse who can appropriately manage symptoms that often accompany terminal conditions. The nurse works closely with the Home Care team, physician and family members to deliver optimal care to terminally ill patients while they continue to receive aggressive treatment for their illness.
