You skip the drive. No waiting rooms, no rushing to appointments across town when you’re already dealing with pain or limited mobility.
Your therapist sees how you actually live. They watch you navigate your stairs, your bathroom, your kitchen. That means the exercises and modifications they recommend actually work in your real environment, not just on a clinic floor.
Treatment stays consistent because it’s easier to keep. Research backs this up—people who receive physical therapy at home often see comparable or better outcomes than those who travel to clinics, particularly after procedures like knee replacement. The reason is simple: when therapy fits into your life instead of disrupting it, you’re more likely to stick with it.
And for many Lattingtown residents dealing with balance issues, post-surgical recovery, or neurological conditions, that consistency makes all the difference. You’re not just checking a box. You’re actually getting stronger, steadier, and more independent.
We’ve been providing in-home physical and occupational therapy across Nassau and Suffolk Counties for over a decade. That includes Lattingtown and the surrounding North Shore communities, where transportation can be a real barrier and privacy matters.
Our therapists are licensed, experienced, and used to working with the kinds of conditions common in this area—aging-related mobility loss, fall risk, stroke recovery, joint pain, and post-operative rehab. We accept Medicare and most major insurance plans, and we handle the paperwork so you don’t have to chase down approvals.
What sets us apart isn’t flashy marketing. It’s that our team shows up on time, communicates clearly, and treats your home with respect. We’ve built our reputation one patient at a time, and in a town like Lattingtown where word travels fast, that matters.
It starts with a call. We’ll verify your insurance, confirm your doctor’s referral or help you get one, and schedule your first visit at a time that works for you.
During that first session, your physical therapist evaluates your condition, your mobility, and your home setup. They’ll ask about your goals—maybe it’s walking without fear of falling, getting back to gardening, or just being able to climb your stairs safely again. Then they build a treatment plan around that.
Each session after that is one-on-one in your home. Your therapist brings any equipment needed and guides you through exercises designed for your specific condition—whether that’s gait training, balance work, strength building, or neuromuscular re-education. They’ll also recommend modifications to your space if needed, like grab bars or furniture adjustments that reduce fall risk.
You’re not on autopilot. Your therapist adjusts the plan as you improve, and they’re available between visits if something changes or you have questions. The goal is measurable progress, not just going through the motions.

Every treatment plan is different, but most include a combination of therapeutic exercise, manual therapy, and functional training. If you’re recovering from surgery, that might mean joint mobilization and progressive strengthening. If you’re dealing with balance issues or fall risk—something that affects more than one in four adults over 65 in communities like Lattingtown—your therapist will focus on proprioceptive training and environmental safety.
We also treat stroke survivors and patients with neurological conditions like Parkinson’s. That often involves gait training, coordination drills, and exercises that retrain your brain and body to work together again. For chronic joint pain, whether it’s arthritis or overuse, we use resistance training and movement education to reduce discomfort and improve function.
Lattingtown’s aging population means we see a lot of patients who just want to stay independent in their own homes. That’s not a small thing. Falls are the leading cause of injury among older adults, and the fear of falling can be just as limiting as the fall itself. Our fall prevention programs address both the physical and psychological sides—building strength, improving balance, and restoring confidence.
And because we come to you, we can assess risks you might not even notice: loose rugs, poor lighting, furniture placement. Small changes can prevent serious injuries.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. That includes therapy delivered in your home.
There are some requirements. You need a referral or prescription from your physician, and the therapy has to be provided by a Medicare-approved provider like us. Medicare typically covers 80% of the approved amount after you’ve met your deductible, and you’re responsible for the remaining 20%.
We handle the billing and verification directly with Medicare, so you’re not stuck navigating the system on your own. If you have a secondary insurance or a Medicare Advantage plan, coverage may vary slightly, but we’ll walk you through what to expect before your first visit.
We treat a wide range of conditions, but the most common in Lattingtown include post-surgical rehabilitation (especially after joint replacements), stroke recovery, balance and fall prevention, arthritis and joint pain, and neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or MS.
If you’ve had a knee or hip replacement and find it difficult to get to a clinic during early recovery, in-home therapy lets you start rehab sooner and progress safely. For stroke survivors, we focus on regaining mobility, coordination, and independence through gait training and neuromuscular re-education.
We also work with patients who haven’t had a major medical event but are noticing age-related decline—weakness, stiffness, trouble with stairs, fear of falling. These aren’t minor concerns. Left unaddressed, they lead to loss of independence. We create plans that rebuild strength and confidence so you can keep doing the things that matter to you.
The biggest difference is context. In a clinic, your therapist works with you in a controlled environment that doesn’t reflect your daily life. At home, they see the real challenges—your actual stairs, your bathroom layout, the chair you struggle to get out of.
That means the exercises and modifications are tailored to your environment, not a generic setup. If you’re working on balance, your therapist can practice with you in the spaces where you’re most at risk. If you’re recovering from surgery, they can help you navigate the specific obstacles in your home.
There’s also the convenience factor. No travel means no stress about driving when you’re in pain or arranging rides. And research shows that patients who receive therapy at home often have better long-term outcomes because they’re more consistent with treatment. When therapy fits into your routine instead of disrupting it, you’re more likely to follow through.
It depends on your condition and goals, but most patients start noticing improvements within a few weeks. That might mean less pain, better balance, or more confidence moving around your home.
For post-surgical rehab, the timeline is often dictated by your healing process—typically 6 to 12 weeks of progressive therapy. For chronic conditions like arthritis or balance issues, therapy might be shorter or longer depending on how your body responds and what you’re working toward.
Your therapist will set realistic milestones with you from the start. If you’re not progressing as expected, they’ll adjust the plan. The goal isn’t to keep you in therapy indefinitely—it’s to get you strong and stable enough to manage on your own or with minimal support. Some patients graduate after a few weeks. Others need a few months. It’s individual.
Not much. Just make sure your therapist has a clear path to the areas where you’ll be working—usually a bedroom, hallway, or living space with enough room to move. You don’t need to rearrange furniture or buy equipment. Your therapist brings what’s needed and works with what you have.
It helps to have your insurance card, a list of current medications, and any relevant medical records or imaging results handy, but we can also request those from your doctor if needed. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move—something you’d wear to exercise.
If there are specific areas of your home where you’re struggling—like stairs, the bathroom, or getting in and out of bed—let your therapist know during the evaluation. That’s exactly the kind of information that makes in-home therapy more effective than clinic-based care. The more your therapist understands about your daily routine, the better they can help.
In most cases, yes. Medicare and most insurance plans require a physician’s referral or prescription for physical therapy. That can come from your primary care doctor, a specialist, or even a surgeon if you’re recovering from a procedure.
If you don’t have a referral yet, we can help. Let us know during your initial call, and we’ll guide you through getting one from your doctor. It’s usually a quick process—your physician just needs to document that therapy is medically necessary based on your condition.
Once we have the referral and verify your insurance, we can typically schedule your first visit within a few days. If you’re unsure whether your plan requires a referral or what your coverage looks like, call us. We deal with this every day and can give you a straight answer based on your specific situation.
