What’s The Difference Between Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy?
Most people think they have a pretty good idea of what physical therapy is. Perhaps they’ve been injured in an accident, whether they slipped and broke their wrist or hurt their leg in a car wreck.

When Is Long-Term Home Healthcare Appropriate?
Every time we work with a patient, there’s a process we go through in order to make sure that they’re getting the best care available from our home healthcare agency.

Helping Those Needing Short Term At-Home Care

What Are the Benefits of In-Home Occupational and Physical Therapy?
When most people think about physical therapy, they often imagine a room at a hospital or at a rehab center that kind of looks like a gym.

Reasons To Get Out of the Hospital and Into Home Healthcare
We interact with a number of different types of clients who come to us with a variety of needs.
