The Mobile Advantage

I specialize in in-home physical therapy assessments and short-term support. My focus is helping you clearly understand your mobility and fall risk, and giving you practical tools to manage independently — whether you’re working to prevent falls or recovering from illness, injury, or surgery.Traditional insurance-based home health is a vital resource, but rigid regulatory criteria often leave vulnerable seniors stranded. Thompson Physical Therapy fills the critical gaps in the continuum of care with a rapid-response, private-pay model.• No Referral Needed: Leveraging California's Direct Access laws to evaluate and treat immediately.• No Homebound Requirement: Serving seniors who are mobile but actively fluctuating or unsafe.• Zero Insurance Friction: No prior authorizations, strict care plan mandates, or delayed starts.• Fully Compliant: Licensed, professionally insured, and bonded in the State of California.Telehealth Q&A is also available as a quick supplement or when in-home isn’t practical.

How We Partner Across the Continuum

1. For Medical Doctors & Primary Care Providers (MDs)

• Objective Triage: I act as your eyes and ears in the home. Every comprehensive assessment utilizes standardized CDC STEADI frameworks (TUG, 4-Stage Balance, Chair Stand).• Closing the Loop: Following our assessment, you receive a concise, one-page clinical summary detailing objective balance scores, home hazards identified, and our plan if patient agreeable.• Resource Optimization: If a patient requires heavy, insurance-eligible skilled care, I will route them back to traditional home health. If they just need preventative positioning, I handle it directly.

2. For Assisted Living & Residential Care Communities (ALFs/RCFEs)

• Protect Length of Stay: I can help residents maintain their functional independence so they can age in place safely, protecting your community’s occupancy.• Reduce Liability Metrics: Proactive environmental safety checks and objective balance tracking drop facility fall rates.• Staff Support: I offer caregiver body-mechanics education and custom transfer recommendations to reduce staff/resident injury.

3. For Skilled Nursing & Rehab Discharge Planners (SNFs)

• Safe Transitions: I provide immediate, next-day home environmental evaluations and safety assessments to prevent the dreaded 30-day hospital readmission.• The Post-Medicare Bridge: When a patient is discharged from skilled therapy but family members want continued oversight to prevent regression, I can step in with seamless private-pay maintenance.• Rapid Response: I can be in the patient's home within 24–48 hours of discharge
