Here’s what changes when you don’t have to worry about getting to another appointment. You get therapy in your own space, where you actually live and move. That means your physical therapist sees the real challenges—the stairs you avoid, the bathroom setup that’s tricky, the chair that’s hard to get out of.
Treatment happens where it matters most. You’re not replicating your daily routine in a clinic. You’re improving it at home.
And if transportation has been the reason you’ve put off getting help, that’s no longer in the way. Medicare covers in-home physical therapy when it’s medically necessary. Most people dealing with joint pain, stroke recovery, balance issues, or post-surgery rehabilitation qualify without hassle.
You also skip the waiting room, the scheduling stress, and the energy it takes just to show up somewhere. Your therapist comes to you, works with your schedule, and builds a plan around your goals—not a generic protocol.
We’ve been serving Long Island since 2010, including Setauket and the surrounding North Shore communities. Our team includes licensed physical therapists and occupational therapists trained in neurological rehabilitation, fall prevention, gait training, and post-surgical recovery.
What sets us apart is the attention to detail that doesn’t usually show up until something goes wrong. Every therapist is vetted. Every treatment plan is personalized. And the administrative side—insurance, scheduling, communication—actually works the way it should.
You’re not getting a rotating cast of providers or a rushed 20-minute session. You’re getting consistent care from someone who knows your name, your history, and what you’re working toward.
It starts with a phone call. You’ll talk through what’s going on—whether that’s chronic joint pain, difficulty walking, recovery from a stroke, or something else. If in-home therapy makes sense and you’re eligible under Medicare or your insurance, we’ll schedule an appointment at a time that works for you.
During the first visit, your physical therapist evaluates your mobility, strength, balance, and any pain or limitations you’re dealing with. They’ll also look at your home environment to identify fall risks or movement barriers. This isn’t a clipboard checklist. It’s a real conversation about what’s hard right now and what you want to be able to do.
From there, you’ll get a treatment plan. That might include therapeutic exercise, balance and proprioceptive training, gait training, resistance and strength training, or neuromuscular re-education depending on your needs. Sessions typically happen one to three times per week and last about 45 minutes to an hour.
Progress gets tracked. Adjustments get made. And if something isn’t working, you talk about it. The goal is measurable improvement in how you move and how you feel—not just showing up for appointments.

Our in-home physical therapy in Setauket covers a wide range of conditions. If you’re recovering from a hip or knee replacement, you’ll get pre and post surgery rehabilitation that helps you regain strength and mobility safely. If you’ve had a stroke or are managing a neurological condition like Parkinson’s, our stroke rehabilitation and neurological rehabilitation programs focus on regaining function and preventing further decline.
Fall prevention is a major focus for older adults in the area. According to local health data, falls are the leading cause of injury for adults over 65 on Long Island. Balance training, proprioceptive exercises, and gait training can reduce your fall risk significantly—and that directly impacts your ability to stay independent.
You might also be dealing with chronic joint pain from arthritis, past injuries, or overuse. Treatment includes joint pain management through manual therapy, therapeutic exercise, and resistance training that rebuilds strength without making things worse.
We offer occupational therapy as well, often combined with physical therapy when you need help with daily tasks like dressing, bathing, or cooking. The goal is keeping you functional and independent in your own home for as long as possible.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers in-home physical therapy when it’s considered medically necessary and ordered by your doctor. That typically means you’re homebound—meaning leaving home takes considerable effort due to illness, injury, or disability.
You don’t need to be completely bedridden. If getting to a clinic is difficult or unsafe because of mobility issues, balance problems, or recent surgery, you likely qualify. Medicare also covers occupational therapy when it’s part of your treatment plan.
There’s no copay for the first visit if your therapist accepts Medicare assignment, which we do. After that, you’ll pay 20% of the Medicare-approved amount. If you have a supplemental plan, that often covers the remaining balance. The key is making sure your doctor writes the order and that the therapy is focused on improving a specific condition.
It depends on what you’re recovering from and how your body responds. Post-surgical rehab after a joint replacement might last six to eight weeks. Stroke rehabilitation or neurological rehab can go longer—sometimes several months—because progress happens more gradually.
Your therapist will reassess you regularly and adjust the plan based on what’s improving and what still needs work. Medicare doesn’t put a hard limit on the number of sessions, but therapy has to remain medically necessary. Once you’ve hit your goals or plateaued, treatment wraps up.
Some people continue with a maintenance plan or transition to outpatient therapy if they’re ready for that. But the focus is always on getting you to a point where you can function independently. If you’re still making progress and it’s helping, therapy continues.
Most people qualify if they’re dealing with something that limits mobility or makes leaving home difficult. That includes recovery from hip or knee replacement, fractures, or other orthopedic surgeries. It also covers stroke recovery, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and other neurological conditions.
Chronic conditions like arthritis, joint pain, or severe back pain often qualify, especially if they affect your ability to walk safely or perform daily activities. Balance issues and fall risk are also common reasons for in-home therapy, particularly for older adults.
If you’ve been hospitalized recently or discharged from a rehab facility, in-home therapy is often the next step to continue your recovery. The main requirement is that your doctor agrees it’s medically necessary and that leaving home is a challenge. Your therapist can help determine if you meet the criteria during the initial consultation.
Physical therapy focuses on movement—strength, balance, walking, and pain management. If you’re recovering from surgery, struggling with mobility, or at risk of falling, that’s usually physical therapy. You’ll work on exercises that improve how your body moves and functions.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily activities—getting dressed, bathing, cooking, and other tasks you need to do to live independently. If a stroke or injury has affected your ability to use your hands, manage household tasks, or stay safe at home, occupational therapy helps you adapt or regain those skills.
A lot of people need both, and they often work together. For example, after a stroke, you might do physical therapy to improve your walking and balance, and occupational therapy to regain hand function and relearn how to prepare meals. We provide both services, and your treatment plan can include whichever type of therapy makes sense for your situation.
You can choose which agency provides your care, and that includes choosing us. Once you’re set up with an agency, we’ll assign a licensed physical therapist to your case based on your location and the therapist’s availability and expertise.
If there’s ever a personality conflict or you feel like the fit isn’t right, you can request a different therapist. That’s not common, but it’s an option. Most people stick with the same therapist throughout treatment because consistency helps with progress and communication.
What matters more than picking a specific person is making sure the agency itself is reputable, licensed, and experienced with your type of condition. We’ve been serving Long Island since 2010 and work with therapists who specialize in everything from stroke rehab to fall prevention. You’re getting someone qualified who knows what they’re doing.
Your therapist will start by asking about your medical history, current symptoms, and what’s been difficult for you lately. They’ll want to know about surgeries, falls, pain levels, and any limitations you’re experiencing. This is also when you talk about your goals—what you want to be able to do that you can’t do right now.
Next comes the physical evaluation. Your therapist will assess your strength, range of motion, balance, and how you move around your home. They might watch you walk, sit down and stand up, or navigate stairs if that’s part of your daily routine. They’ll also check your home for safety risks like loose rugs, poor lighting, or furniture placement that could lead to falls.
By the end of the session, you’ll have a clear treatment plan. That includes how often you’ll meet, what exercises or activities you’ll work on, and what the expected timeline looks like. You’ll also start some initial exercises or techniques right away. The first visit usually lasts about an hour, and it’s covered by Medicare if you’re eligible.
