Discover the Vitality Therapy Program
Frailty is a powerful predictor of falls, illness, and injury. The Adoration Home Health Vitality Therapy Program is aimed at reversing and preventing frailty and the risks it poses. Through this program, we focus on improving four main areas: balance, strength, flexibility, and endurance.
The top 10% of Medicare costs are attributed to frail patients. Research shows that specific exercise programs can reverse frailty, reduce injuries, and hospitalization costs. Fortunately, frailty can be diagnosed, providing care for those frequently overlooked.
This program is reimbursed via the Home Health benefit, and identifies frail elderly status if a patient is 65 years or older and has at least two of the following: Gait Abnormality; Malnutrition; Failure to Thrive; Cachexia; Debility; Difficulty Walking; History of Falls; Muscle Wasting; Muscle Weakness; Decubitus Ulcer; Senility; or use an assistive device to ambulate.
Vitality applies resistive exercises with specificity based upon the patient’s physiological ability, which improves clinical outcomes and patient adherence to the program.
