In the last several years medical benefit changes for home health care services have caused a dramatic reduction in speech-language services for persons suffering swallowing problems, thinking and memory difficulties, communication impairment due to strokes, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, and other neurological and musculoskeletal conditions....

Patients are hospitalized for brief periods and discharged during the acute phase of their condition. It is nearly impossible for most patients to achieve maximal recovery within this time frame. Some patients may be able to attend outpatient therapy, but the family must cope with exhausting efforts in transporting the patient.

Private speech and language services can bridge the gap,
and give patients the best chance for recovery!
