Tower Health at Home provides a range of in-home health care services offering patients a seamless transition following inpatient discharge or ongoing management of chronic conditions. Our team of nurses, therapists, and social work staff deliver high quality, compassionate care, including:
Physical Therapy evaluates and treats dysfunctions of movement. A Tower Health at Home PT can restore or improve physical and functional abilities, whether the patient’s issue is concerning an injury or disease. Specialized programs may include Electric Stimulation and/or Ultrasound to assist with blood flow and healing.
Occupational Therapy helps individuals achieve independence in everyday functions such as bathing, dressing, grooming, and mobility as it relates to these tasks. OTs develop alternative skills to help patients reach their priorities and personal goals. Specialized services may include a Home Safety Evaluation, adaptive equipment training, and family member/caregiver training and guidance.
Speech/Language Pathologists evaluate and treat speech and swallowing disorders. They also provide voice therapy, cognitive therapy, aural rehabilitation for the hearing impaired, as well as training in the use of alternative communication devices.

By approaching an illness this way, our clinicians address physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual needs and facilitate patient autonomy and choice.
The Palliative Care Approach
- Patients, families, palliative and non-palliative health care providers collaborate
- Care is provided and services coordinated by an interdisciplinary team
- Services are available concurrently with or independent of curative or life-prolonging care
- Emotional and spiritual support for patient and family
