When you are recovering from an injury or illness, returning to daily activities that were once routine can seem overwhelming or even impossible. That’s where the skilled occupational therapists at Memorial Hermann can make a big difference. If you are unable to safely leave your home, Memorial Hermann Home Health can come to you to guide your road to recovery and help you return to the life you love.
The occupational therapists at Memorial Hermann Home Health are highly trained specialists. We have extensive experience in determining which treatment options will be most successful in promoting independent living, based on medically proven methods and techniques. Our goal is to help patients manage daily activities, as safely and efficiently as possible, within the context of the injury or illness.
The first visit from your therapist will focus on evaluation and planning. Your therapist will conduct a comprehensive exam to assess your health and determine appropriate goals. Next, the therapist will work with you to develop a specialized treatment plan to help you progress from where you are to where you want to be.
Most treatment plans include exercise, training, education and rehabilitation services to assist with daily activities, strength training and improving functional ability. During home visits, your therapist will evaluate the progress you are making and adjust the treatment plan, if necessary. As part of a comprehensive approach, your therapist will stay in communication with your physician to ensure you are making progress and working toward your health goals.
