CONWAY — When the average person thinks of physical therapy, they likely picture it taking place in an outpatient practice in a gym-like setting. But Visiting Nurse Home Care and Hospital of Carroll County wants to build awareness that rehabilitative services like physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy can take place from the comfort of home.
In fact, most of their staff therapists say that it’s their preferred place to provide care due to its effectiveness and positive outcomes for their clients.
