Physical therapy that comes to you!

Top 5 benefits of in-home physical therapy:
1) One on one and personalized to your home, your routine, and your goals.
2) It is just as effective as clinic visits for recovery, strength, and balance (and some say even more beneficial).
3) It helps improve safety and reduce fall risk right where you live.
4) It removes barriers like travel, weather, and waiting rooms.
5) It is often covered by Medicare and many insurance plans when medically needed.

The Lakes Region VNA team brings care and confidence to the comfort of your own home. 💙

More people are choosing home hospice and including advanced directives in their long-term care plan to remain at home. Here are some of the top reasons families prefer home hospice care.

1) Comfort and familiarity
Being at home allows patients to be among personal memories, favorite belongings, and loved ones. It can help to reduce stress and make people feel more at ease.

2) More time with family
Home hospice makes it easier for family and friends to gather, participate in care, and share meaningful moments together.

3) Personalized care
Home hospice teams create care plans tailored to the individual’s needs, preferences, and values in a comfortable setting.

4) Increased personal autonomy
Patients often feel more empowered making decisions about their daily routines, meals, visitors, and how they spend their time when they remain in their own home.

5) Focus on quality of life
Home hospice prioritizes comfort with a goal to help patients live meaningfully and wholly during this transitional time.

Lakes Region VNA is trusted by more people in the community to provide the highest quality care and support to patients and families during this time.
