Delivering Neurorehab to Your Doorstep
01. Therapy Services
Comprehensive approach to your recovery and rehabilitation
-
Our neurorehab-specialized physical therapists will assess and evaluate you for neuromuscular and musculoskeletal deficits. Using hands-on skills, specialized equipment, client-specific education, and the unique environment of each home, we can help improve your strength, mobility, balance, and coordination, allowing you to regain your independence and improve your quality of life.
-
Our neurorehab occupational therapists will assess and evaluate your needs relating to activities of daily living, functional status, fine and gross motor coordination, home safety and adaptive equipment, as well as other needs of the home and community environments.
Through assessment and evaluation, we can help you relearn daily living skills, manage your home environment, and adapt your environment and equipment to meet your changing needs.
-
Recreation and Life Skills Therapists are essential in returning clients to independence, getting them back to what they enjoyed prior to their injuries. They assess and evaluate the client’s needs relating to personal recreation and leisure interests, community support and resources, home management, and health and wellness for overall improved physical, mental, cognitive, and emotional wellbeing.
Recreation and Life Skills Therapists tailor their focus on community reintegration, transportation access, safety awareness, time management, and other community support opportunities.

Our neurorehab speech and language pathologists can address communication difficulties you may experience. We can assess and evaluate your needs relating to communication, cognition, swallowing impairments, functional status, home and community safety, and adaptive equipment, to help you improve your communication skills and regain your voice.

Our respiratory therapists help address your needs relating to cardiopulmonary health and respiratory function. They are vital for the ventilator-dependent client or any client with an open airway.
02. Wound Care
Expert care to promote healing and prevent complications
-
A WOCN is a highly specialized nurse engaged for clients with wounds, ostomy concerns, or continence complications. Managing these sensitive areas requires expertise and knowledge as a delay in time can be detrimental to the client.
-
Once a client has been evaluated by our WOCN and deemed appropriate for electrical stimulation for wound healing, DHP will engage our PT/PTA to perform high-volt electrical stimulation to prevent further wound damage and facilitate wound healing in an effort to avoid surgical intervention.
03. Support Services
Care beyond therapy
-
With the knowledge, expertise, and network of Dr. Anna Elmers, DHP is able to offer unparalleled coordination of care in the comfort of a client’s home with various providers in not only Atlanta, but the entire state.

Upon initial engagement with DHP, you will be assigned a Case Manager who will complete an in-home evaluation and assess you and your family goals in areas including durable medical equipment (DME), transportation needs, home modifications, health and rehabilitation concerns, local/state/federal resources, potential referrals, self perception and insight, medications, and support system. Your DHP Case Manager will act as liaison to you and all parties involved.
-
What a client consumes is essential to the healing process. Our Dietician assesses the client’s needs relating to diet and nutrition and makes recommendations to optimize the client’s overall health.
-
Once a client has been evaluated by our team of neurorehabilitation therapists, they may recommend a consultation from our in-house AT Rehab Engineer. The AT Rehab Engineer assesses a client's needs related to the following areas of care: computer and cellphone access, adaptive video gaming setup, smart home setup, and custom AT device development. Through various mediums of product development, our AT Rehab Engineer is able to create custom made devices specific to the client’s needs, often not yet on the market.

As an integral part of the interdisciplinary team, the Counselor focuses on adjustment in the transition from hospital to home. This is accomplished through various settings including one-on-one with the client, family counseling, couples counseling, parent counseling, etc.

This four step process consisting of proper skin care, manual lymph therapy or drainage, compression through bandaging and/or garments, and a specialized exercise program are all specific care needs for clients experiencing lymphedema swelling following their Spinal Cord Injuries.

For clients who would benefit from massage therapy working in conjunction with our physical, occupational and speech therapists, a referral to our in-house massage therapist may be made.
