PEDIATRIC HOME HEALTHCARE
The benefits of in-home Pediatric Therapy
There are many benefits for you and your family in choosing in-home pediatric therapy. Children with disabilities and complex health issues tend to experience frequent and lengthy visits to medical clinics and hospitals. Not to mention that discharging usually requires a complicated approach with a pediatrics plan on how to monitor the health and care of the child. The goal being to ensure that children remain healthy, and receive required medical care and support while at home. This can often best be accomplished by partnering with a reputable pediatric home healthcare or outpatient agency. Please see below for a list of the benefits of in-home pediatric therapy. Additionally, we offer telehealth services.
Convenience
In-home pediatric therapy is far more convenient than conventional arrangements such as frequently taking the child to a facility to receive care. Instead of long commutes and having to pack up the care, you simply need to have your child at home and ready for their scheduled therapy appointment, the home healthcare therapists take care of everything else.
Flexibility
With in-home pediatric therapy, you do not have to work around what’s available at the hospital, clinic or medical facility, you can book appointments around your schedule, and at a time that is most convenient for your child. This means your child can also attend school and be an active participate in other activities, and receive their therapy services later in the day. This level of flexibility simply cannot be achieved at a facility.
saving money
Our mission is to serve the underserved. Therefor we do not bill families. In order to do this we only accept Medicaid as a primary or secondary form of payment. Our in-home pediatric therapy plans are customized around the needs of your child, so there are no additional payments needed for the treatment and services your child needs. You also save on both time and fuel costs. Long-term in-home pediatric therapy can often save a family a significant amount of money compared to what they would spend on frequent hospital visits.
If you do not currently have Medicaid as a primary or secondary, please contact us. We would love to inform you of all the many Medicaid options that exist, including those that are not income specific.
COMFORT & QUALITY
Pediatric home healthcare means that your child has the opportunity to stay within their familiar environment which helps maintain comfort and a sense of normalcy. Where as many health facilities and crowds of strangers can be intimidating and scary for infants, children, and even too many adults. By providing in-home pediatric therapy services, we are able to better help her/him to maintain safe feelings and therefor a more trusting relationship with their pediatric therapist. The greater quality of connection between the pediatric therapist and your child, is a large advantage to helping maximize therapy results. Additionally, home healthcare therapists can more easily and efficiently help to educate parents on what they can do at home in between sessions to continue their child’s development.
Specialized Attention
OASIS Pediatric Therapy aims for every child to receive therapy services from their dedicated physical, occupational and/or speech therapist. Additionally, pediatric home healthcare therapists have no other distractions that are commonly found in a buzzing medical facility. They are free to give your child their full presence and sole attention, which is what both you and they deserve. Providing one-on-one care ensures that the specific needs of your child are fully and adequately addressed. Additionally, having the same home healthcare therapists care for your child on a regular basis allows them to get to know your child personally and to better understand and address their needs consistently. Our team of skilled therapists are dedicated to supporting families as a whole, and not just individuals, therefor we create the best specialized plans of actions by understanding each families unique situation and dynamics.
Reduced Chances of Infections
With in-home pediatric therapy, the child is not exposed to other kids and adults inside a medical facility. This is important as children are highly vulnerable to diseases, and is imperative during our current COVID-19 pandemic. Confining the care to your home reduces the chances of your child contracting an infectious disease while receiving their pediatric physical, occupational or speech therapy services.
