Physical Therapy Connecticut
UniversaCare’s in-home physical therapy in Connecticut helps clients regain strength, balance and mobility without leaving the comfort of home. Our licensed physical therapists build a personalized plan around your diagnosis, your doctor’s orders and your own goals – whether that is walking confidently again after surgery, reducing fall risk or managing a chronic condition. Skilled services in Connecticut are delivered through There For You Home Care Services, a division of UniversaCare, under the supervision of a registered nurse and in coordination with your physician.
What does in-home physical therapy include?
Why choose UniversaCare for physical therapy at home?
Recovering at home means therapy happens where you actually live – on your stairs, in your kitchen, through your front door. Our therapists see the real environment, adapt the plan to it and coordinate with the rest of your care team so nursing, aide support and therapy work as one plan. Visits are scheduled around you, not a clinic calendar.

Common questions
Can the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders help pay for physical therapy?
CHCPE helps eligible Connecticut residents age 65 and older, and some younger adults with disabilities, receive services at home. The program decides eligibility and which services it covers, and we can explain how to apply.
How quickly can physical therapy start?
After a free consultation and in-home assessment, care can often begin within days. Timing depends on the schedule you need and, for insurance-funded care, on program or plan approval.
