In-Home Therapy Services
Ohioans Home Healthcare & Hospice brings physical, occupational and speech therapies to you. In-home therapy can help you recover from surgery, injury and illness at your own pace in a familiar setting.
Work with expert therapists who are committed to your success as you navigate your wellness journey. Our contracted therapists specialize in creating customized programs to suit your needs and achieve your health goals.
You and your loved ones will also benefit from their knowledge and resources to answer questions and address concerns, so you can feel confident, safe and comfortable during your in-home sessions.
In-home therapy is convenient and accessible. You don’t have to vie for limited office appointments, coordinate transportation or adjust to a clinical setting. You’ll receive the same comprehensive care in the comfort of your home on your own time. You will work with the same person or team of therapists to ensure consistency.
Benefits of In-Home Therapy
One-on-One Attention
No two in-home therapy programs are alike because your sessions are based on your health conditions, abilities and personal goals. Working with a therapist at home means you have their undivided attention, so you get the most out of your training. Having an expert on hand can also provide a sense of comfort and reassurance.
Pain Management
In-home therapy is an effective alternative for coping with pain if you don’t want to use opioids or medication. Your therapist can modify exercises based on your comfort level and adjust your exercises as you grow stronger.

What to Expect from Ohioans In-Home Therapy Services
We collaborate with your physicians to achieve the best possible outcome.
Your therapy program is determined based on your doctor’s recommendation. We will schedule a 30- to 60-minute consultation to review the severity of your condition before prescribing a treatment plan.
Your therapist will evaluate the cause of your well-being and discuss what you hope to achieve through therapy. That includes defining everyday tasks that affect your quality of life. They will create a care plan based on that information and your medical history.
The frequency of your session is based on your initial evaluation, insurance and abilities. Your team will conduct follow-up assessments based on your care plan and update your doctor on your progress.
