Embassy Healthcare is excited to announce Empower Outpatient Therapy - Coming Soon! What is Empower Outpatient Therapy? Empower Outpatient Therapy allows people to receive therapy at one of our local clinics, in their own community. We often treat patients with similar medical conditions as those in an inpatient setting. The difference is that patients visiting our Empower Outpatient clinic tend to have conditions that, while acute in nature, are less medically complex and with fewer comorbidities. For instance, a first-time stroke patient with no other medical history or complications may get treatment in an outpatient clinic, while a patient dealing with multiple strokes and other medical issues would more likely be treated in a post-acute setting. Empower Outpatient therapy is perfect for those who need help to restore their health after experiencing minor injuries or other health conditions. The services you can receive from outpatient programs generally include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. Our clinics are ideal for patients looking to improve their daily mobility and quality of life, but are independent enough to receive these services while living in their home or community. We focus on helping patients restore function following an injury, so they can get back to their normal activities. Our clinics may also provide other types of services, such as pre-or post-surgery rehab, biofeedback, and a variety of modalities including ultrasound, diathermy, and more. We are a great option for services that aren’t offered within the community such as voice or speech therapy. Visits to an outpatient clinic tend to be 45-60 minutes in length, and patients often continue their exercises at home between sessions. Medicare patients may be eligible to receive outpatient therapy under Medicare Part B and, because the therapy caps were repealed, they can benefit from improved access to these services. How to get started with Empower Outpatient Therapy? To get started in the program, outpatient orders from your physician are initiated, insurance is verified and your initial evaluation is scheduled. After the initial evaluation, a licensed therapist will outline your individualized plan which includes treatment goals, therapeutic interventions, and the frequency/duration of care. For more information about Empower Outpatient Therapy services, please contact our Admissions Director. Pulmonary Care at Embassy Healthcare At Embassy Healthcare, we understand having a Pulmonary Unit with a dedicated staff can drastically reduce rehospitalization, allow for a faster recovery, and foster a better quality of life for our patients and residents. Our Pulmonary Care Program, EMPOWER PULMONARY, strives to help our short-term and long-term residents with diagnoses of COPD, pneumonia, asthma, or respiratory failure re-establish their highest functioning pulmonary status.
