Speech Therapy Home Health Care

VNA Community Healthcare's  experienced speech therapists manage the home health care challenges of speech, language and swallowing disorders.  Through a home care treatment plan, we restore swallowing techniques and communication skills.  A treatment plan may help improve speech, language and non-verbal communication, including facial expression and gestures.  We also work with caregivers to learn how to promote home care therapy.

Speech Therapy begins with a referral.  Contact our Transition Care Department to find out if you qualify for home health care. Your speech therapist will then assess your swallowing and communication skills and develop a home care treatment plan.  Working together with nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists, we ensure coordinated, quality home care.  We are also active in schools, providing speech therapy to improve students’ speaking and communication. 

Treating all ages for speech and swallowing problems.  Speech therapy is available to patients from birth.  Our speech therapists see newborns and children with swallowing deficits and trouble with feeding and eating.  These patients often have Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome or other neurological conditions.  If you are an older adult who has Parkinson’s disease, neck cancer, or is post-tracheotomy we can assist with speaking and communication strategies.  If you have experienced a stroke, trauma or had surgery that affects communication, we can provide swallowing techniques.
