Speech Therapy Services

MemorialCare Home Health’s speech-language pathologists are licensed and trained professionals who work with patients to help with speaking, eating, breathing, swallowing, cognition skills and communication disorders.

Our therapists provide one-on-one therapeutic training and support to individuals with physical needs resulting from injury, illness or surgery in the comfort of their home. Regardless of the activity or need, our highly skilled staff ensures that every person has an enjoyable and empowering experience.

Speech-language therapy involves corrective treatment of physical and/or cognitive disorders that cause difficulty with communication and/or swallowing. MemorialCare Home Health’s speech-language pathologists help patients develop their language and speech skills to regain control and improve communication. They also teach patients and family members safe and appropriate swallowing techniques.

We offer unique speech therapy programs that cater to each individual. An adult might participate in complex word games and activities that enhance speech retrieval. As progress or setbacks are noted, each activity is carefully evaluated for effectiveness, and activities can be changed, increased or eliminated at any time to effectively work toward the patient’s personal and therapeutic goals.

Our therapists visit patients in the comfort of home, eliminating the need for costly stays in a rehabilitative facility and inconvenient visits to outpatient rehabilitative centers. Our therapists work collaboratively with the patient’s primary care physician, physical and occupational therapists, and other MemorialCare Home Health providers who might be assisting with the recovery and rehabilitative process. Communication is key in comprehensive care, and our state-of-the-art electronic medical records system makes it easy for timely documentation and safe access to information.
