Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We talk on the phone and get necessary documentation. If this is an insurance case, we will need insurance card, prescription (clearly stating that In-Home Therapy is needed), and a Face-to-Face (documentation of a visit within the last 30 days). We can easily take Medicare, but for other insurances we would need to verify benefits.
If this is a private case, we have some forms to fill out. This can be done fairly quickly.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
All of our therapists are licensed therapists. They have at least a Master's Degree and significant experience. Some have PhDs.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
For private services, we have a bill rate sheet we can share with our clients.
How did you get started in this business?
Our owner, Saili, already owned a home care agency for about 8 years. Early on, when Saili would meet the families for her home care assessments, she would ask them if they were going for walks, doing exercises. Many were not. When she offered that her caregiver could help with these things, the families were thrilled. They also found out that the client was much more willing to do this with a caregiver, and not with their own family! Saili often suggested to the families to get their doctor to prescribe some Physical Therapy sessions because she knew this would be beneficial, and then the caregiver could help with the day-to-day (and can even be trained by the Physical Therapist). The inquiry into a client’s activity level and the encouragement to try to get stronger and stay limber became part of every assessment.
The opportunity to acquire Active In-Home Therapy came at a time when Synergy HomeCare was well established and Saili was sure that Physical Therapy is a valuable part of a healthy older person’s life. Even if the doctor does not prescribe it, it is beneficial, and private Physical Therapy is available through Active In-Home Therapy. It was a perfect fit, and it allowed a more holistic solution to an elderly person’s needs.
What types of customers have you worked with?
All ages, many elderly. Some recovering from surgery, fall, or illness, some have Parkinson's Disease. We have served a variety of patients.
