Defining Home Health
Skilled home health services from Gulfside Home Health include physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and skilled nursing care. All of these are aimed at helping you recover from a surgery, injury or illness in the comfort of home. This can include a knee replacement, hip replacement, bone fracture resulting from a fall, and more.
For the patient, having skilled therapies at home means you can get back to the things you love doing faster and learn new ways to keep your independence. For the caregiver, it means getting the help you need and finding solutions that fit both of your lifestyles.
