Which setting delivers PT services in the patient's home and often includes caregiver training?

• A. Home Health Care
• B. Outpatient
• C. Telehealth
• D. SNF

Answer: (A)

Delivering PT services in the patient’s home along with caregiver training is the hallmark of home health care. In this setting, therapists visit the patient at home, assess the living environment, and tailor therapy to daily routines and real-world barriers. A crucial part is teaching caregivers how to assist safely with transfers, exercises, and activities of daily living so progress continues between visits and the home remains a supportive setting for rehabilitation. Outpatient care occurs in clinics or rehab gyms, not in the home. Telehealth involves remote delivery (often still oriented around the home), and a skilled nursing facility provides inpatient, facility-based care rather than home-based services.
