When recovery needs a clinical team at home.
Lifecare Options provides physician-coordinated skilled home health across the Houston metro area. Your plan may include nursing, therapy, home health aide services, or medical social work, depending on your needs.
The services that may be part of a skilled home health plan.
The services below are not a one-size-fits-all package. Your physician and care team determine what belongs in the plan and how visits are coordinated.
Skilled Nursing
Registered nurses and licensed vocational nurses may provide wound care, medication support, and chronic-condition care as ordered in the plan of care.
Physical Therapy
Physical therapists work on movement, strength, balance, and the practical goals that matter after surgery, injury, or a health change.
Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapists focus on daily activities such as dressing, bathing, and preparing meals, with an emphasis on safer routines at home.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapists may address communication or swallowing concerns after a stroke, neurological change, or injury.
Medical Social Work
Medical social workers help patients and families understand available resources and the non-clinical parts of the care plan.
Home Health Aide
Home health aides support personal care and daily routines under the supervision of the skilled care team.
Remote Patient Monitoring
For eligible skilled home health patients, connected devices can share daily readings with the nursing team for review.
