not satisfied with the amount of therapy services provided to you after your hospital stay?
In-home Senior Fitness & Wellness
Serving Pasco, Pinellas and Hillsborough Counties
Fitness & Wellness VS. Physical Therapy
Do you want to return to your active lifestyle and maintain your level of earned fitness/wellness/ mobility after your therapy services?
Would you like to supplement your lifestyle changes with exercise programs based on clinical foundations and functional safety?
Need encouragement and motivation with a focus on healthy sleeping habits, improved continence and exercises tailored specifically to you and your life passions?
We have found that many clients and their families find themselves in a challenging position of trying to find fitness, health or overall wellness alternatives after their hospital stay, outpatient or home health discharge. With recent Medicare changes, patients are not necessarily receiving the quantity of home health visits that would be necessary to return to their prior level of function. Morpheus Wellness provides private pay health and wellness programs with a clinical backbone as a supplement to their concurrent therapy or as a continuation of their home exercise program, then modified with a holistic touch based on the client’s likes and hobbies, such as swimming, golfing, dancing or even horse-back riding.
How Can We Help?
“Mom/dad are not going to follow the home exercise program, I just know it. I’m worried she/he will fall again/get weak/go back to the hospital.”
Morpheus Wellness discovered a need for continued supervised fitness and wellness services after home health or outpatient therapy discharge . Our customized programs will help improve the following:
- decline in strength and balance
- decrease in walking frequency
- decreased socialization
- deconditioning i.e. “couch potato”
- risk of injury / falls
- hospitalization/re-hospitalization
- continence program
A Return to optimal living
Morpheus Wellness co-founders, Dean Flores and Lynda Parks, have over 30 years of combined experience in the physical therapy, fitness, health and wellness fields. Their careers in the home health setting resulted in a strong knowledge of neurologic, cardiac, musculoskeletal and cognitive impairments pertaining to the geriatric population. Dean and Lynda’s unique combination of holistic and clinical approach led them to create a program that molds personal preferences and likes around the wellness/ fitness program, turning it more into an experience than a workout.
