Pain and illness can be isolating–the very act of sharing stories may be comforting. Many times, we have been humbled and inspired when listening to other’s hardships, and the strength and optimism engendered in dealing with their illness or unfortunate life events. A holistic approach, considering a client’s personal experiences and preferences, is used to determine a care plan that will yield the most successful outcomes.
When recommending Home Health Boutique to friends and family, I mention that Dyan and her support team have a good and timely grasp of a client’s needs. Home Health Boutique stands out because their service is personal, friendly and professional, and they take a direct interest in their clients. They have provided a qualified referral network for medical supplies and services. As someone who has Muscular Dystrophy, these qualities are invaluable to me.”

Then there was the treatment of Mr. and Mrs. “W”, owners of the country’s largest pharmacy. It was a treat working with this couple on their 127-foot wheelchair- accessible yacht, the SisW. Mr. W, a detailed-oriented man, made note of the color and style of my eyeliner. As we had both been Rotarians, Mr. W and I would always recite the Four Way Test” each time we met. He insisted our sessions, although physically challenging for him, include edgy jokes and laughter.
I love my therapist, how she treats me as a person, and how she helps with therapy. She’s sensitive to my needs beyond what a typical therapist is. I should know- I’ve worked with her for over 5 years.”

I am 90 years old and suffer from severe spinal stenosis and I’m full of pain all of the time. Last year I fell and broke my hip. After surgery the Doctor ordered Physical Therapy which brought me to Home Health Boutique. It was a big part of my recovery and I am grateful to them for not only their expertise, but for the compassion and willingness to go over and beyond in every aspect of my recovery.
There were days when I didn’t have strength to do a full workout and my therapist was able to manipulate me and get me to move in a way that worked for me on a given day. Other days we worked harder! She was flexible and really knows her stuff!!
I am grateful to Home Health Boutique and so appreciative to have had such a knowledgeable and caring person to help me through a difficult time!”

Or Dr. Anna Dias*, a prominent respectable physician, had dementia and was falling daily in her home. The client’s daughter expressed that her mother preferred remaining in her residence with a caregiver instead of transitioning to a memory care facility. During our visits, she would give the same accounts of her deceased spouse and their plans for the day. While we talked, we focused on maneuvering through her home with cues for posture, gait, and safety. She lived in her house several years after therapy was discontinued…
I have home health services offered in my community, but I chose to work Home Health Boutique quite simply because they care. The nurse, Becki, who was referred to me by Home Health Boutique, is bright, patient, and addresses all of my medical needs. She frequently checks in with me to see if I need anything. Home Health Boutique treats me like family.”

My therapist listened to concerns beyond my back and leg pain.
I was constantly amazed at how knowledgeable and detailed she was about my medications, alerting me to their side effects, and providing recommendations if their side effects outweighed their benefits. Since I was new to area, they even helped me find a primary physician.
I know I can always consult Home Health Boutique if I have any other concerns.
I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone fortunate enough to avail themselves of the most professional and knowledgeable treatment and caring services helped me to experience a quality of life that I otherwise might never experience.”

I have used other Home Health Agencies in the past to provide physical therapy for my husband. Each time, after about 1-2 months, when he was stronger and able to walk better, the care was discontinued because the therapists said my husband had achieved their goals.
In a matter of a few weeks, my husband was back to square one, so weak it was difficult for him to even get up from a chair.
Home Health Boutique helped me understand that Medicare provides regulations for my husband to have continued physical therapy if certain conditions are met. They also explained this to our physician. As a result, my husband has maintained his strength, is safe when walking, and hasn’t had any falls. For me this is a blessing because I am able to care for my husband in our home.”

I couldn’t recommend Home Health Boutique more highly. Having had brain surgery which impacted me physically and neurologically.
I was totally unprepared and scared beyond words. My therapist opened up a world to me, showing me what steps to take and what resources were available, both of which were life altering in the most positive way.
The staff’s honesty, knowledge, thoroughness, professionalism, and sensitivity have been the bridge to my future.”

Mr. Smith*, a widower new to the Ft. Lauderdale area, suffered with back pain for many years. Because a land-based exercise program increased his pain, an aquatic program was designed to increase strength, balance, and endurance, without pain. We also introduced him to an organization to meet others, and provided him with a list of medical professionals he would be compatible with…
I credit all of my improvements in my balance and gait to the physical therapy provided by Home Health Boutique. My therapist was punctual, caring, and always went the extra mile to make sure I was working to my full potential.”

Mrs. Robinson*, a 78-year-old female, moved in with her daughter a year following having a stroke. At our initial meeting, she spoke of a physical therapist that prescribed her “exercises that my great-grandmother could have done.
I’m old, but not feeble, and want to get back to doing the shopping, cooking, and cleaning to help my daughter.” We introduced her to Pilates-based concepts, which are typically found in an outpatient setting. Mrs. Robinson mastered “the plank” which addressed her balance and poor trunk stability, and achieved her goals in one month…
My first experience working with my therapist was in 2013, when I came home from the hospital after having an emergency fusion operation. I had a long recovery, and thanks to Home Health Boutique, I got through a very difficult ordeal.
I have since called Home Health Boutique to follow up on additional neck problems, and after having a knee replacement. The therapists were diligent in personally coming to assist me whenever it was needed.
I have found the company to be first class in home care and genuine in caring. I will continue to always recommend them for the best service possible.”
