Reach Care Rehabilitation - in home physical therapy

Physicians

First, let me ask you a few questions:

  • How would you treat your client that presents with gait and balance deficits and will definitely have difficulty to attend outpatient physical therapy at a clinic?
  • How can you make sure that your client who recently has been discharged from a home health agency and has a history of falls, doesn’t decline and experience more falls because transportation to an outpatient clinic is too difficult to arrange?

The answer for both questions is Reach Care Rehabilitation.

Since each of your clients are unique, we create personalized treatment sessions. Reach Care Rehab Physical Therapists will tailor our client’s program to the specific challenges they face day to day.

Because we bill under Traditional Medicare Part B our clients do not have to be homebound and in need of skilled nursing services.

All the testing and treatment is provided in the comfort and convenience of the client's home environment.

Reach Care provides a proactive fall prevention program proven to reduce the incidence of falls up to 40%. The potential benefits of our Fall Prevention Program to the client:

  • Reduce risk for falling

  • Reduce nursing home placements
  • Improve balance

Other reasons to refer:

  • Healthier patients – because they have the skill and confidence to move more. May also help with management of diabetes, HTN, depression, etc.
  • More time for you. Reducing the risk for a fall can save you the time associated with calls, hospital visits and staff time sending and receiving information that typically occur after a patient falls.
  • Secured Personal Information – we employ the services of web based technology that utilizes the same safety measures as online banking.  Your patient’s medical records and personal information is safe.
  • Simple paperwork. Reach Care Physical Therapy requires less paperwork than home health agency and the same amount as traditional outpatient physical therapy clinics.
  • Clear and concise patient reports. Get the relevant information you want quickly.
  • Easy to refer Medicare patients. Reach Care Rehabilitation is a participating provider with Medicare (Part B) and other insurances

 

Who can benefit from our services?

  • History of Falls/Frequent Falls
  • Difficulty with walking or balance
  • Anyone the health provider feels is at risk for falls and can benefit from physical therapy (Intrinsic and Extrinsic Risk Factors for Falls) 
  • Client prefers a therapist that specializes in balance, dizziness and walking; has the advanced training, skill, and experience to get results.
  • The client's son or daughter helps them to get up, stands near them when they walk, or holds their hand when they walk.
  • No consistent and reliable means of transportation (i.e. doesn’t drive or relies on others for transportation).
  • Prefers privacy; feels uncomfortable in an open gym and would be more comfortable in their home environment.
  • Lack of results in traditional outpatient setting (i.e. have tried outpatient clinics and didn’t like it or didn’t complete the treatment plan and subsequently didn’t get the results they were hoping for).

Our goal is to make sure your clients stay active, healthy and safe in the comfort of their home as long as possible.
