SPEECH THERAPY
Our Speech-language pathologists work to assess speech, language, cognitive- communication, and oral/feeding swallowing skills. This lets them identify a problem and the best way to treat it.

DRY NEEDLING PROGRAM

Dry needling is a treatment performed by our skilled, trained physical therapists, certified in the procedure.
A thin needle penetrates the skin and treats underlying muscular trigger points for the management of pain and movement impairments. Dry needling treats muscle tissue, and its goal is to reduce pain, inactivate trigger points and restore function. It rarely is a standalone procedure. Rather, it often is part of a broader physical therapy approach incorporating other traditional physical therapy
interventions into your treatment.
Dry needling can help:
• Shoulder pain
• Headaches
• Knee pain
• Tendinitis
• Hip pain
• and more

​VERTIGO PROGRAM

What is Vertigo?
The sensation of moving, tilting, or spinning surroundings or the feeling that you are in motion or falling despite being still. Vertigo is a symptom, not a specific medical disease. It is associated with many medical problems and medications. Vertigo must be distinguished from other symptoms such as lightheadedness and simple dizziness. Vertigo is chiefly recognized by the misapprehension of movement and body imbalance.
 It may also be accompanied by the following symptoms:
• Nausea and vomiting
• Tinnitus, or ringing sound in the ear
• Slurred speech
• Nystagmus, or involuntary movement of the eye
• Disturbed or blurred vision
• Difficulty walking
• Dizziness and fatigue
• Fullness in the ear
• Temporary hearing loss
• Lightheadedness
• Weakness, feeling faint, and numbness
• Sweating or diaphoresis
• Feeling of being pulled toward one side
• Sensation of internal or external spinning
​

Dignity Home Health can help people overcome dizziness and balance difficulties through:
• Evaluation of the balance system, posture, & motor movement planning
• Collaboration with physicians
• Balance Retraining
• Vestibular Rehabilitation
• Improved visual motor control
• Compensation for inner ear disorders

Medicare Coverage of Home Health Care Defined Below

Nurse and Patient
Who's eligible?
If you have Medicare, you can use your home health benefits if you meet all the following conditions:
  1. You must be under the care of a doctor, and you must be getting services under a plan of care established and reviewed regularly by a doctor.
  2. You must need, and a doctor must certify that you need, one or more of the following:
              ■ Intermittent skilled nursing care 
              ■ Physical therapy 
              ■ Speech-language pathology services 
              ■ Continued occupational therapy
  3. The home health agency caring for you must be approved by Medicare (Medicare Certified).
  4. You must be homebound, and a doctor must certify that you're homebound. To be homebound means the following: 
              
     ■ Leaving your home isn't recommended because of your condition. 
               ■ Your condition keeps you from leaving home without help (such as using a wheelchair or walker, 
                   needing special transportation, or getting help from another person).       
               ■ Leaving home takes a considerable and taxing effort.
         A person may leave home for medical treatment or short, infrequent absences for non-medical reasons, such as attending religious services. You can still get home health care if you attend adult day care, but you would get the home care services in your home.
