In-Home Therapy Services: Physical & Occupational Care Explained

When strength, mobility, or independence becomes limited, therapy at home can make all the difference. At Ballinger Home Health & Hospice, we offer personalized physical and occupational therapy delivered right in your home; so you can focus on healing where you're most comfortable.

What Is In-Home Therapy?

In-home therapy is skilled rehabilitation provided by licensed therapists in the patient’s residence. Typically prescribed after surgery, injury, or a significant health change, it helps restore function, reduce fall risk, and support day-to-day independence.

Physical Therapy (PT):

• Restores strength, balance, and coordination

• Improves mobility and fall prevention

Occupational Therapy (OT):

• Focuses on activities like dressing, bathing, and meal prep

• Suggests home modifications and adaptive tools

• Helps patients regain confidence in daily routines

Benefits of Receiving Therapy at Home
