Orthopedic Rehab
Waypoint Home Health Care’s Orthopedic Rehab Program specializes in the coordination and therapeutic management of pre and post-operative care of joint replacements and all other orthopedic surgeries- delivered completely in the comfort of the patient’s home.
Orthopedic Rehab
Often, rehabilitation at home following an orthopedic procedure is the best fit for a patient. Our program provides comprehensive hands-on physical therapy, occupational therapy and skilled nursing according to the protocols of the patient’s physician and will involve one-on-one therapy and education to return the patient’s range of motion, muscle specific strengthening, progressive mobility training and wound care. Waypoint Home Health Care’s team of experienced and caring therapists and nurses provide the highest quality of clinical care along with encouragement, compassion and motivation to help patients reach their goals safely and productively.
