LESSON OBJECTIVES Upon completion of this program, the home health aide will be able to: Discuss the different types of therapy home health patients may receive Explain three ways to support a therapy plan of care, and State three reasons a patient might receive therapy services OVERVIEW A rehabilitation program in the home may require the skills of physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language pathologists. However, a patient's care doesn't stop with the therapists. Home health aides are dedicated to supporting a program's daily requirements. They offer encouragement that can be a determining factor in the patient's recovery.

This in-service focuses on the role of the home health aide when working with therapy patients. It looks at the different therapies prescribed for patients suffering from common diseases and injuries. It also offers examples of how home health aides carry out portions of the therapy program as directed by the therapists. Finally, it emphasizes the home health aide's role as being instrumental in helping a therapy patient reach his or her full potential and recovery.
