If getting to a clinic is hard right now, a licensed Holsman therapist can come to your home in South Orange (Essex County) instead. Medicare Part B accepted, no homebound requirement, and no referral needed to start.
We also have a clinic right here: Holsman Physical Therapy – South Orange at 349 Valley St., South Orange (973-327-7868). Patients often start at home after surgery or a hospital stay, then move to the clinic once driving is easier.
While the South Orange Public Library’s Scotland Road building is under construction, it runs interim branches on Walton Avenue and at the Baird Center on Mead Street. Therapy at home can build the walking confidence older adults need to reach either one, or to ride the village’s senior Dial-a-Ride.
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 South Orange 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.

No referral is needed to start. Under New Jersey’s Direct Access law you can begin physical therapy without a prescription. Within 30 days of your first treatment, we send a written progress update to your physician or another licensed health care professional you choose, even if you’re improving. 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.
No. Our in-home therapy is billed under Medicare Part B as outpatient therapy, which has no homebound requirement. Homebound status applies to home health agency care under Part A, which is a different service.
