Rehab Services
Lee Memorial Home Health Rehabilitation
plays a vital role after recovery of major orthopedic,
neurological, cardio-pulmonary and general surgeries. Rehab is
also important when recovering from major neurological events
like strokes. Licensed Physical Therapists, Speech Pathologists,
and Occupational Therapists treat patients. The home
rehabilitation process is usually initiated by a physician
referral. After an evaluation, the licensed therapist designs a
unique treatment plan based on the patient's needs. The patient
and caregiver are closely involved in establishing the treatment
goals. Most patients use Home Health Rehabilitation services
after discharge from a hospital, a rehabilitation hospital, or
skilled nursing facility, but patients also come to us via a
direct referral from the primary care physician.

Pulmonary Services
Lee Memorial Home Health provides
comprehensive pulmonary care, in collaboration
with your physician, skilled nurses, physical therapists, and
occupational therapists. The goals of the program are to prevent
disease progression, relieve symptoms, improve exercise
tolerance, and prevent and treat complications. A skilled nurse
assesses and monitors the disease process, looks for ways to
reduce risk factors and works to manage things that make the
disease worse. Exercise programs set up by the therapist can
improve shortness of breath and fatigue. Patient education
provided by the professional improves self-care and improves the
ability to cope with illness and health status.

our nurses the ability to monitor and measure your health data and information between
visits to your home. Using state-of-the-art Honeywell HomMed technology, we can
monitor and measure your heart rate, blood pressure, weight, oxygen saturation level,
blood glucose, and ask specific questions unique to your health care needs, in order
to provide a more complete picture of your health. Telemonitoring helps to identify
even small changes in health status earlier and prevents unnecessary ER visits and
hospitalizations.
