Advantages of Home Therapy

Receiving therapy in your own home can offer unique advantages over outpatient therapy. After all, what could be better than learning to move up and down your own steps, or ensuring that you can cook safely in your own kitchen? Home therapy allows therapists to see your world and how you get along in it. Often they can spot specific hazards or barriers to independence that can be easily overcome.  

In particular, the advantages of home therapy include:

• Practicing skills in your own environment;

• Training your family or care providers how to help you in your home; 
• Empowering you or your loved ones to remain at home longer and to live a higher quality of life at home;
• Overcoming specific safety hazards that exist in your home;
• Trying out equipment in the place you will use it most;
• Avoiding fatigue by spreading out your appointments to different times; and
• Focusing your energy on healing and strengthening — not traveling to appointments or sitting in waiting rooms.
