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.
