South Shore Visiting Nurse Association (SSVNA) has been caring for patients in the comfort and convenience of their homes since 1911. Our therapists provide care to people along the whole age continuum, from babies to end of life care.
Many patients become deconditioned during an illness or hospital stay and benefit from home therapy to return to their prior activities. Our in-home rehabilitation services include Physical Therapy, Occupational Therapy and Speech Therapy. Last year, rehabilitation therapists made 36,500 visits to patients’ homes.
