Rehabilitation & Recovery Care

Providing Rehabilitation & Recovery Care Services to Greater Denver and the Surrounding Areas
We understand that rehabilitation and recovery care home services are an important step in helping seniors and other adults get well and stay well.
Individuals often need extra support while recovering from surgery, an injury or the exacerbation of a chronic illness. Additionally, when a loved one is discharged from a hospital, rehabilitation center or skilled nursing facility, they may need help readjusting to or creating a new daily routine.
FirstLight’s professional caregivers allow clients to achieve the best possible health outcomes through at-home care while reducing the risk of a hospital readmission. Caregivers develop customized care plans that aim to promote long-term wellness and help with things essential to a smooth recovery.

In-home recovery and rehabilitation care services include:
- Transportation home from a hospital, rehabilitation center or skilled nursing facility (as well as to and from follow-up appointments)
- Picking up new prescriptions and providing regular medication reminders
- Walking and assistance with mobility
- Help performing prescribed exercise therapy
- Basic housekeeping and laundry
- Meal preparation
- Personal hygiene assistance
- Observing patients for any changes in health or well-being
In-Home Rehabilitation Services
First Light Home Care provides skilled, in-home rehabilitation services to help individuals improve their mobility, independence, communication, and ability to safely participate in daily activities. Our licensed rehabilitation professionals deliver individualized therapy services in the comfort of the patient’s home, based on their specific needs, goals, and plan of care.
Recovery following surgery, injury, illness, hospitalization, or a change in medical condition can present challenges that affect a person’s strength, mobility, communication, and daily function. Receiving rehabilitation at home allows patients to work toward meaningful, functional goals in the environment where they live.
Our rehabilitation team works with patients, families, and other healthcare professionals to support recovery, maximize functional abilities, and promote the highest possible level of independence.
Our In-Home Rehabilitation Services
First Light offers skilled therapy services provided by qualified rehabilitation professionals.
Physical Therapy (PT)
Physical therapy helps patients improve strength, balance, coordination, endurance, and mobility. Treatment may address walking, transfers, fall risk, and safe movement within the home to support greater independence and functional safety.
Occupational Therapy (OT)
Occupational therapy helps patients improve their ability to perform everyday activities as independently and safely as possible. Treatment may focus on self-care, functional tasks, upper-extremity function, adaptive techniques, and strategies to address challenges within the home environment.
Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)
Speech-language pathology helps patients address communication and cognitive difficulties, as well as swallowing concerns when clinically appropriate. Treatment is individualized to the patient’s assessed needs and goals.
Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Services
Physical Therapist Assistants provide skilled physical therapy interventions under the direction and supervision of a licensed Physical Therapist, consistent with the established plan of care and applicable professional requirements.
