Is It Right For You?

Is speech therapy at home right for me or my parent?

Speech therapy at home may be a fit if your doctor says you need therapy and leaving home takes a lot of effort. Tap anything below that sounds like you or someone you love.

What does “homebound” mean?
  • Leaving home is not recommended because of your condition, or you have trouble leaving without help.
  • You are normally unable to leave home, and leaving takes a lot of effort.
  • You may need a walker, wheelchair or another person’s help.
  • Homebound does not mean you can never leave home.

Medicare may cover home health care when eligibility requirements are met, including a doctor’s or provider’s plan of care, a need for skilled care, and homebound status.

Not sure? That is okay.

Call us and we will talk it through, with no obligation. We will tell you if home health is a fit.

Questions

Speech therapy at home: your questions answered

Short answers to what families ask us most.

What is speech therapy at home?

Speech therapy at home is care from a licensed speech-language pathologist for problems with speaking, understanding, memory and thinking, and swallowing.

Who might need speech therapy?

People who have trouble finding words, speaking clearly, understanding others, thinking, or swallowing safely. It is often needed after a stroke or with conditions such as Parkinson’s.

Is coughing or choking when eating a problem?

It can be a sign of a swallowing problem, so tell your doctor. If someone is choking or cannot breathe, call 911 right away.

Does Medicare cover speech therapy at home?

Original Medicare may cover home health services from a Medicare-certified agency when eligibility requirements are met, including a doctor’s or provider’s plan of care, a need for skilled care, and homebound status. Speech therapy can be one of the skilled services that qualifies. We can explain your options.

Do I need a doctor’s order before I call?

No. Call us first. If home health is appropriate, we coordinate with your doctor or other health care provider to obtain the necessary order.

What happens at the first visit?

Your therapist checks your speech, language, thinking and swallowing, talks with you and your family, and sets goals with you. Your plan follows your doctor’s orders.

Can my family help with therapy?

Yes. Your therapist teaches family members simple ways to practice and to communicate, so progress can continue between visits.

How often will a therapist visit, and for how long?

Visit frequency follows your doctor’s orders and your needs. Therapy is usually short-term and goal-driven, and it continues while you are making progress.
