Many Older Adults are in Need of Professional Therapy
Balance is so important to our older adults. As people grow older, normal tasks can become harder to do. Many begin to outsource for support, hiring someone to do the yard work and the housecleaning. With a lack of movement over time, it becomes more difficult to maintain balance, which can lead to falls inside the home. When falls happen, there are higher incidences of breaks including broken arms, legs, feet, ankles, and hips. These breaks often require intense therapy, which begins after surgery in the hospital. After surgery, older adults either receive care at home or in skilled nursing care for intensive physical therapy to help them heal and regain their strength.
Physical Therapy After a Fall
Wilshire Home Health offers therapy, such as speech therapy, that patients need after suffering a stroke. After falling, patients require physical therapy, which helps them regain their mobility and strength. Patients who have suffered from diseases or surgery typically prefer to recover at home by clinicians and professionals who are compassionate and caring. It also affords the opportunity to age in place, and recover at home, mitigating stress and mental health issues from having to recover in a facility or hospital setting.
Getting Back in the Swing of Things
It may take some time, but with the help of doctors, nurses, and physical therapists, patients can get back to their normal daily routine. This could include being mobile outside, doing gardening, going swimming at the nearest health center, or getting everyday tasks done.

Family members who are caring for their loved ones may also want to know more about the hospice programs available for their loved ones when there is a terminal diagnosis. This is the most difficult time when everyone in the family needs to be thought of because they are grieving long before their loved one has passed on. This is the time when hospice patients receive pain management and a comforting and caring atmosphere, along with the peaceful knowledge that family members will be there with them.
