Home health care is not a replacement for a patient’s primary care physician. Instead, Restore Wellness will work closely with a patient’s doctor, updating him or her along the way, as we work together to treat and resolve the medical condition. Since the medical professionals are visiting the patient at home, it allows that patient more time to focus on his or her recovery instead of traveling back and forth to a hospital, or even staying in hospital. For patients who live alone, home health care offers companionship and needed social interaction. It can also be a considerable blessing to a patient’s loved ones, easing the stress of care giving and providing a resource for more information and education. 

Depending on the doctor’s orders, a patient’s home health care may include some or all of the following services:

​

•    Physical therapy – helps to improve physical function and mobility
•    Occupational therapy – helps to improve the ability to perform everyday activities and tasks; to enhance independence
•    Speech therapy – helps one regain communication and swallowing abilities
•    Skilled nursing – registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses who are experienced in providing a wide range of medical services, such as drugs, wound care, disease and medication education, and more
•    Medical social worker - assists the patient or family with accessing resources for financial planning, meals, housing, etc. 
•    Home health aides – assist with personal care and hygiene
