In-Home PT Helps COVID Patients Recover For many, recovery does not end when symptoms disappear. Patients may need help returning to normal. COVID-19 can affect strength, mobility, balance, endurance, and respiration. To rehabilitate patients, therapists might recommend one or more of the following exercises. ... -Respiratory Control. Targets breathing muscles and increases oxygen in the bloodstream. -Passive Joint Motion. To raise flexibility, the therapist moves joints through their full range of motion without help from the patient. -Muscle Stretching. Releases muscle tension and increases muscle length, for better flexibility. -Bedside Standing Training. Strengthens muscles groups in patients who have difficulty standing on their own. -Walking Exercises. Enhances the motion of a patient’s lowers joints, builds strength, and develops balance by mimicking the repetitive motions of walking. Additionally, in-home physical therapy helps patients maintain strength and endurance by setting concrete goals for them to work towards even after home care ends. The ability to track progress using everyday benchmarks (e.g., walking to the mailbox, showering on their own) helps motivate them to continue exercising #homehealth #seniorcare #physicaltherapy #orangecounty #health

In-Home Physical Therapy Guarantees Continuity of Care In the wake of COVID-19, many skilled nursing facilities shut down. With patients and staff working and living so close together, they’re especially vulnerable to the disease. As a result, patients are going directly home after their operations instead of moving to a care facility which hospitals are encouraging because skilled nursing homes have become so dangerous. ... This created a gap in patient care. Instead of spending weeks rehabilitating with a team of licensed medical providers, patients now need intensive health services at home. In-home physical therapy is being adopted as the best method for continuing care. Even though in-home therapists are handling more of the recovery process, this has not hampered their ability to deliver services. Due to the pandemic many elective procedures are either canceled or put on hold. Thus, demand for physical therapy has remained steady throughout the pandemic. The drop off in voluntary procedures has freed therapists to concentrate on the still-large number of patients recovering from life-saving operations. #homehealth #physicaltherapy #seniorcare #healthcare #orangecounty #caringthroughcovid

COVID-19 has led to an important shift in patient care. Rather than rely on skilled nursing facilities to restore their health, patients and physicians are turning to in-home physical therapy instead. In-home therapy not only protects patients from infection, but it also ensures continuity of care during the recovery process. When patients work one-on-one with a therapist, it limits their opportunity for infection. In an ordinary outpatient setting, they would be exposed to ...patients and staff who might be carrying the virus. In-home physical therapy, however, allows them to rehabilitate in a safe environment. In addition, Parentis Home Health Care workers have taken extra steps to make sure patients stay safe. We test our therapists every week to ensure there is no risk of them transmitting the disease. Our therapists also wipe down and sanitize their equipment after each session. Furthermore, our staff is cautious and avoids places where they might be exposed to large groups of people. Finally, masks are worn whenever they work with patients. By adopting these measures, our physical therapists have been able to protect patient safety while delivering essential care.
