Covenant HomeCare’s stroke rehabilitation program is a specialized program to help patients recover at home from the effects of a stroke. Although recovering from a stroke can be challenging, the rehabilitation team assists the patient in becoming as functionally independent as possible.

Patients appropriate for our stroke rehabilitation program include those who have a primary diagnosis of stroke or have a stroke-related disorder such as paralysis, weakness, balance disorders, and dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Our rehabilitaiton treatment is based on national standards and evidence-based practices that include careful planning, goal setting, and effective, intensive one-on-one therapy.

Our licensed, experienced staff evaluates and treats patients promptly after receiving a physician’s referral, and we communicate regularly with your physician about your progress. We also evaluate and help obtain any prosthetic/orthotic, assistive device, or adaptive equipment that might be needed.

• Adaptive equipment needs
