When is Physical | Occupational | Speech Therapy Appropriate in Hospice?
​
Physical therapy under hospice is not about rehabilitation in the traditional sense; it is palliative in nature — proven to maximize comfort, function, and quality of life.
Therapy is typically considered when:
-
The patient has potential to improve mobility.
-
It may help reduce complications related to bed confinement.
-
The patient/family expresses a desire for independence as long as possible.
