Home health services team

When you choose Advocate Health at Home, you receive compassionate, experienced care from a team that provides nursing care, rehabilitation therapy, patient education, and other services in the comfort of your own home.

You and your loved one or caregiver are the most important members of your home health services team. We work together to teach you to care for yourself and maximize your function and independence.

Your home health services team is tailored to your needs and may include:

• Physical therapists help patients restore motion and function, improve mobility, speed recovery, relieve pain, and improve body movement.
• Occupational therapists help patients improve the skills needed for daily living, including learning to use adaptive equipment.
• Speech language therapists work with patients to improve speech and swallowing issues.
• Social workers provide support to patients and families, helping connect them with community resources such as transportation, meal delivery, insurance needs, and more.
• Certified home health aides offer personal care assistance, including help with bathing, dressing, exercising, and other activities related to personal care.
