October is National Physical Therapy Month and we've been celebrating our PTs and PTAs all month long!

Did you know that Legacy Home Health has 15 licensed Physical Therapists (PTs) and 16 Physical Therapist Assistants (PTAs) on staff? That’s a powerful team working together to help patients regain strength, mobility, and independence every day.

So, what’s the difference? A PT evaluates patients, develops treatment plans, and guides overall therapy goals. PTAs work closely with PTs to carry out those plans, providing hands-on care and exercises that help patients progress toward recovery. Together, they form a vital partnership that improves quality of life for the individuals we serve.

At Legacy Home Health Care, we believe that empowering patients and caregivers with knowledge is one of the most important parts of the healing process. By remembering the ABCs—Ask, Be involved, Communicate—you can take charge of your health and play an active role in recovery.
