Therapy Care Our team of highly-qualified therapists are ready to care for your loved one in the comfort of their own home!

Based in Appleton, WI, PRN Home Health & Therapy has provided at-home therapy services since 2015, helping patients regain function, confidence, and overall health. Our team of physical, occupational, and speech therapists delivers care directly in the patient’s home—whether a private residence or assisted living facility—ensuring high-quality therapy without the need to travel.

Eligibility for at-home therapy in Wisconsin generally requires patients to be considered homebound. Medicare defines “homebound” as having a condition that makes leaving the home extremely difficult without the help of assistive devices (such as a walker, cain, wheelchair), without the assistance of another person, or is medically inadvisable. An individual may still leave for medical appointments, religious services, or occasional non-medical events.

Many of our therapists hold additional certifications in LSVT BIG and LSVT LOUD, offering specialized support for patients with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of therapy does PRN provide?

PRN provides physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech language therapy.

What is the difference between physical therapy and occupational therapy?

Physical therapists work with the whole body, focusing on improving gait, balance, and overall strength. Occupational therapy focuses more on fine-motor skills and cognitive strategies. Typically occupational therapy works on upper extremity exercises. Physical therapists and occupational therapists often collaborate to provide care.

What do speech language therapists do?

Speech language pathologists, or therapists, diagnose and treat voice disorders, feeding & swallowing disorders, speech sound disorders, stuttering, language disorders and cognitive disorders.

How does therapy differ for older adults?

Therapy in older adults may last a little longer due to the fact that the healing and recovery timeline takes longer. The goal of our therapists is to push and challenge our patients, but never be aggressive in our treatment. We will always move at the speed of the patient and what works best for them.
