At home, your therapist works on the things that matter in your own space: getting in and out of bed and the car, managing your stairs, walking safely on the routes you use every day, and setting up the bathroom and kitchen to prevent falls. Common reasons East Newark patients start in-home therapy include recovery after a hip or knee replacement, a fall or balance problem, a stroke or Parkinson’s disease, and weakness after a hospital stay.

For Medicare, your physician or nurse practitioner signs off on your plan of care, and we coordinate that for you. Some insurance plans have their own referral rules, so we verify your coverage before the first visit.
