Balance Dysfunction Physical Therapist - PT in home care

Description Safe Strides Physical Therapist - Gentiva Home Health

I believe that better care begins at home.
Compassionate care, uncompromising service and clinical excellence - that's what Gentiva® patients have come to expect from our physical therapists for nearly 40 years. Gentiva, America's homecare leader, has set the clinical standard for today's fastest-growing segment of healthcare - homecare. By creating innovative solutions that lead to high-quality patient outcomes, Gentiva's patient-centered approach improves quality of life and independence. With Gentiva, great healthcare has come home.

Gentiva® Safe Strides® is a comprehensive balance program that takes a systematic approach to thorough evaluation of a patient with a balance dysfunction. The auditory, somatosensory, oculomotor and musculoskeletal systems are evaluated and documented utilizing standardized testing on initial patient evaluation and discharge. This enables us to measure outcomes for physicians and payers. The treatment of these patients involves tools and strategies to challenge each system for restoration, adaptation, or habituation allowing a patient to return to daily living activities.

I believe I can make a difference.
