You shouldn’t have to choose between getting the care you need and staying comfortable at home. That’s the problem most people face when mobility becomes an issue—the places that can help are the hardest to reach.
In-home physical therapy changes that. You get a licensed therapist who comes to you, evaluates your space, and builds a treatment plan around your actual environment. That means working on the stairs you use every day, the bathroom you need to navigate safely, and the routines that matter to your independence.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing chronic joint pain, or dealing with balance issues that make leaving the house stressful, therapy at home gives you real-world results. You’re not replicating your life in a clinic. You’re improving your life where you live it.
We’ve been providing in-home care across Nassau County since 2010. We’re not a new operation testing a model—we’ve built our reputation one patient at a time, working with seniors, post-surgical patients, and anyone who needs skilled therapy but can’t easily access a clinic.
Our therapists are licensed, Medicare-certified, and experienced in treating the conditions most common among Westbury residents: stroke rehabilitation, neurological disorders, fall prevention, and post-operative recovery. We coordinate with your existing doctors, accept Medicare and most major insurance, and handle the paperwork so you can focus on getting stronger.
Westbury families trust us because we show up on time, communicate clearly, and treat every patient with the same care we’d want for our own relatives. No runaround. No surprises.
It starts with a phone call. You tell us what’s going on—maybe you’re recovering from a hip replacement, struggling with balance, or dealing with weakness after a stroke. We verify your insurance, usually Medicare, and schedule your first visit at a time that works for you.
During that first session, a licensed physical or occupational therapist comes to your home and does a full evaluation. They assess your mobility, strength, balance, and any pain you’re experiencing. Just as important, they look at your environment—where you’re having trouble, what’s creating risk, and what needs to change.
From there, they build a personalized treatment plan. That might include therapeutic exercises to rebuild strength, gait training to improve how you walk, balance work to prevent falls, or neuromuscular re-education if you’re recovering from a neurological event. Each session builds on the last, and your therapist adjusts the plan based on your progress.
You’re not on a conveyor belt. You’re working with someone who knows your name, your goals, and your home.

We treat the full spectrum of mobility and rehabilitation needs common in Westbury and across Long Island. That includes fall prevention and balance training for seniors who want to stay safe at home, stroke rehabilitation for those regaining function after a neurological event, and pre- and post-surgery rehab for joint replacements or orthopedic procedures.
If you’re dealing with chronic joint pain, we use therapeutic exercise and resistance training to strengthen the muscles that support your joints and reduce discomfort. For neurological conditions like Parkinson’s or MS, we focus on gait training and neuromuscular re-education to help you maintain coordination and independence as long as possible.
Occupational therapy is also part of what we do. That’s the piece that helps you get back to daily activities—dressing, cooking, bathing—without assistance. It’s not just about moving better. It’s about living better.
And because we come to you, we’re able to work in the context that matters. We’re not guessing what your home looks like or how you navigate your day. We see it, and we address it directly.
Yes. Medicare Part B covers outpatient physical and occupational therapy when it’s medically necessary and prescribed by your doctor. That includes therapy provided in your home by a licensed therapist like the ones at Medcare.
There’s no requirement that you be homebound in the traditional sense. As long as your doctor orders the therapy and it’s part of a treatment plan to improve a specific condition—like recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, or preventing falls—Medicare typically covers it. You’ll be responsible for your Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance, but the majority of the cost is handled.
We verify your coverage before we start and coordinate directly with Medicare so there’s no confusion about what’s covered. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan or supplemental insurance, we work with those too.
We treat a wide range of musculoskeletal, neurological, and post-surgical conditions. The most common reasons people call us in Westbury include recovery from joint replacement surgery, stroke rehabilitation, balance issues and fall prevention, chronic joint pain from arthritis, and mobility problems related to Parkinson’s or other neurological disorders.
We also work with patients recovering from fractures, managing weakness after hospitalization, or dealing with gait abnormalities that make walking unsafe. If you’ve been told you need physical or occupational therapy but getting to a clinic is difficult, we can probably help.
Every treatment plan is customized. Your therapist evaluates your specific condition, your goals, and your environment, then builds a program that addresses what you’re dealing with right now. That might mean strength training, balance exercises, pain management techniques, or functional training to help you do the activities that matter most to you.
That depends on your condition and your doctor’s orders. Most patients start with two to three visits per week, especially in the early stages of recovery when progress happens quickly and consistency matters most.
As you get stronger and more independent, the frequency usually decreases. You might move to once a week, then every other week, and eventually discharge once you’ve met your goals. The whole process typically lasts anywhere from four to twelve weeks, but some patients need longer depending on the severity of their condition.
Your therapist monitors your progress at every visit and adjusts the schedule as needed. If you’re progressing faster than expected, we don’t drag it out. If you need more support, we make sure you get it. The goal is always to help you regain independence—not keep you dependent on us.
Physical therapy focuses on mobility—how you move, walk, balance, and manage pain. If you’re recovering from surgery, dealing with joint issues, or struggling with weakness and balance, that’s typically physical therapy. Your PT works on exercises to build strength, improve your gait, and reduce fall risk.
Occupational therapy focuses on daily activities—how you get dressed, prepare meals, bathe, and manage the tasks that let you live independently. If you’re having trouble using your hands after a stroke, getting in and out of the shower safely, or doing the things you used to do without thinking, that’s where OT comes in.
Many patients benefit from both, especially after a major health event like a stroke or surgery. We coordinate the two when needed so you’re not getting conflicting advice or redundant care. Both therapists work in your home, and both are covered by Medicare when medically necessary.
Yes. Medicare and most insurance plans require a physician’s order before therapy can begin. That’s not a hurdle—it’s actually a safeguard to make sure therapy is appropriate for your condition and part of a coordinated care plan.
If you don’t have a referral yet, we can help. Let us know what’s going on, and we’ll walk you through the process of getting the necessary paperwork from your doctor. In many cases, your physician is already planning to refer you for therapy and just needs to know where to send the order.
Once we have the referral, we verify your insurance, schedule your evaluation, and get started. The whole process usually takes just a few days if your doctor’s office is responsive. We handle the coordination so you’re not stuck in the middle trying to figure out who needs what.
Your first visit is an evaluation. The therapist will spend about an hour with you, asking questions about your medical history, your current symptoms, and what you’re hoping to achieve. They’ll also do a physical assessment—checking your strength, range of motion, balance, and how you move around your home.
This isn’t just a clinical exam. Your therapist is looking at your environment too. Are there tripping hazards? Is your bathroom set up safely? Do you have the support you need to do daily tasks? All of that factors into your treatment plan.
By the end of the first visit, you’ll know what the therapist recommends, how often they’ll come, and what your goals are. You’ll also usually start some light exercises or interventions right away—no need to wait for a second appointment to begin. Everything is explained clearly, and you’ll have a chance to ask questions before we move forward.
