In-Home Physical Therapy in Patchogue

What Changes When Therapy Comes to You

You’re not wondering how you’ll get to another appointment. You’re not sitting in a waiting room. You’re working with a licensed physical therapist in your own space, where the furniture, stairs, and layout are exactly what you navigate every day.

That matters more than you’d think. When your therapist sees how you actually move through your home, they can address the real obstacles—not just the textbook ones. The threshold that trips you up. The bathroom grab bar you’re not using correctly. The chair that’s too low.

Recovery happens faster when it’s built around your life. You get one-on-one attention for the full session. No distractions, no rushing to the next patient. Just focused work on what you need: balance training to prevent falls, gait training to walk with confidence again, therapeutic exercise to rebuild strength, or stroke rehabilitation to regain independence.

Your environment becomes part of the therapy. And you don’t lose half your energy just getting there.

Trusted Physical Therapy Services in Patchogue

Fifteen Years Serving Long Island Families

We’ve been providing in-home physical therapy across Patchogue and Long Island since 2010. We’re not a new operation figuring things out as we go.

Our therapists are licensed, Medicare-certified, and experienced in treating the conditions that actually bring people to us: post-surgical rehabilitation, neurological issues after a stroke, chronic joint pain, fall risk, and mobility limitations that make office visits difficult. We work with Patchogue’s aging population—median age pushing 38 and climbing—who need care but can’t always access it the traditional way.

You’ll work with the same therapist each visit. They’ll know your goals, your progress, and what’s working. That consistency matters when you’re trying to regain independence or manage a chronic condition.

How Physical Therapy at Home Works

What to Expect from Your First Visit Forward

It starts with a phone call. We verify your Medicare coverage, confirm your address in Patchogue or the surrounding area, and schedule a time that works for you. No need to arrange a ride or navigate public transit.

Your physical therapist shows up at your door with everything needed for the session. First visit is an assessment: they’ll ask about your medical history, what’s limiting you right now, and what you want to be able to do again. They’ll watch you move, test your balance and strength, and identify fall risks in your home.

From there, you’ll get a personalized treatment plan. Maybe it’s balance and proprioceptive training to reduce fall risk. Maybe it’s post-surgery rehabilitation to restore range of motion. Maybe it’s neuromuscular re-education after a stroke. Whatever it is, the plan is yours.

Sessions happen in your home, usually two to three times per week depending on your needs and what Medicare approves. Your therapist tracks your progress, adjusts exercises as you improve, and communicates with your doctor as needed. You’re not just doing exercises—you’re working toward measurable goals like walking unassisted, climbing stairs safely, or managing daily tasks without pain.

About Medcare Therapy Services

Physical Therapy Services We Provide

What's Covered in Your Home Therapy Sessions

You get a full range of outpatient physical therapy and occupational therapy services, all Medicare-covered when medically necessary. That includes fall prevention programs—critical in Patchogue where navigating older homes and uneven sidewalks can be challenging for anyone with balance issues.

We provide stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation for patients recovering from neurological events. Gait training to improve how you walk. Resistance and strength training to rebuild what surgery, injury, or inactivity took away. Joint pain treatment for arthritis and chronic conditions. Pre and post surgery rehabilitation to prepare for procedures or recover from them.

If you’ve had an injury—whether from a fall, accident, or overuse—we handle injury rehabilitation. If your muscles aren’t firing correctly after a neurological issue, we do neuromuscular re-education to retrain those patterns.

Occupational therapy is available too, focusing on the daily activities that matter: dressing yourself, cooking, bathing, managing medications. It’s not just about getting stronger. It’s about doing the things that let you live independently in Patchogue without relying on others for basic needs.

Does Medicare cover in-home physical therapy in Patchogue, NY?

Yes, if your doctor orders it and you meet Medicare’s homebound criteria. That doesn’t mean you’re bedridden—it means leaving home takes considerable effort due to illness, injury, or a medical condition. If getting to a clinic is difficult because of mobility issues, balance problems, or lack of transportation, you likely qualify.

Medicare Part B covers 80% of approved outpatient physical therapy costs after you meet your deductible, which is $240 for 2025. You pay the remaining 20% as coinsurance. There’s a therapy cap that triggers additional review after you hit $2,330 in combined physical therapy and speech therapy services for the year, but medically necessary treatment can continue beyond that threshold.

We handle the Medicare paperwork and verification before your first session. You’ll know what’s covered and what your out-of-pocket costs will be upfront. No surprises.

The biggest difference is context. Your therapist sees exactly how you move in your actual environment—the stairs you climb, the bathroom you use, the furniture you navigate. That lets them address real-world challenges instead of generic exercises that may not translate once you’re home.

You also get undivided attention for the entire session. No therapist juggling three patients at once. No waiting for equipment. No cutting the session short because the next appointment is waiting.

And there’s no commute. For Patchogue residents dealing with mobility limitations, chronic pain, or post-surgical restrictions, eliminating the trip to a clinic removes a major barrier. You’re not exhausted before therapy even starts. You can use that energy for the actual work of getting stronger.

We treat the full spectrum of conditions that benefit from physical and occupational therapy. Post-surgical rehabilitation is common—knee replacements, hip replacements, spinal surgeries, cardiac procedures. Stroke rehabilitation and other neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or multiple sclerosis. Injury rehabilitation from falls, fractures, or accidents.

Balance disorders and fall prevention are huge in Patchogue’s aging population. We do vestibular therapy for dizziness and vertigo caused by inner ear issues. Gait training for people who’ve lost confidence walking or developed compensatory patterns that increase fall risk.

Chronic conditions like arthritis, joint pain, and lower back pain respond well to therapeutic exercise and manual therapy. We also work with patients managing long-term conditions who need ongoing strength training and mobility work to maintain independence. If your doctor thinks physical therapy will help, and you have trouble getting to a clinic, we can probably treat it at home.

It depends entirely on your condition and goals. A post-surgical patient might need eight to twelve weeks of regular sessions to regain full function. Someone recovering from a stroke might need several months of neurological rehabilitation. A patient working on fall prevention might do six weeks of intensive balance training, then transition to a maintenance program.

Your therapist will give you an estimated timeline after the initial assessment, but it’s not set in stone. Some people progress faster than expected. Others hit plateaus that require adjusting the approach. Medicare approves treatment in increments based on medical necessity, and your therapist submits progress reports to justify continued care.

Most patients start with two to three sessions per week, then taper to once a week as they improve, then discharge once they’ve met their goals and can maintain progress independently. The goal is always to get you strong and stable enough that you don’t need us anymore.

Yes. We cover Patchogue and the surrounding communities throughout Suffolk County and parts of Nassau County. That includes nearby areas like Medford, Holbrook, Bellport, East Patchogue, and other towns within reasonable driving distance of our service area.

If you’re not sure whether we can reach you, call us. We’ll confirm coverage for your specific address during that first conversation. Our goal is to make in-home therapy accessible to as many Long Island residents as possible, especially those who struggle with transportation or have mobility limitations that make clinic visits difficult.

We’ve been serving Long Island since 2010, and our therapists are familiar with the area. They know how to navigate local neighborhoods and understand the specific challenges Patchogue residents face—older housing stock, varied terrain, and the transportation barriers that come with suburban sprawl.

Have your insurance card ready—we’ll need your Medicare information to verify coverage. If you have a supplemental plan, have that information available too. Gather any recent medical records related to your condition: surgical reports, hospital discharge paperwork, imaging results, or notes from your doctor.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Your therapist will need to see and assess how your joints and muscles are working, so avoid anything too restrictive. If we’re working on gait or balance, wear the shoes you typically use around the house.

Clear a space where you can move safely—about six by six feet is usually enough. You don’t need special equipment; your therapist brings what’s needed. If you have specific concerns about areas of your home that are difficult to navigate, make a mental note to point those out during the assessment. That’s valuable information that helps us build a treatment plan around your real daily challenges.
