Dad has fallen and broken his hip; can he stay at home and receive physical therapy?
Yes. The Home Health Care Agencies provide physical therapy and occupational therapy service in the home as well as in skilled nursing facilities, assisted living facilities, and personal care homes. You have to have the approval from your doctor to receive the therapy first and most cases after approval, Medicare will cover the costs. Your care manager can set up services for family and do the required legwork so it takes the burden off the family.
