HOP-UP-PT bridges the gap to empower older adults to stay independent and healthy as they age

People want to remain independent and have freedom in their homes and communities but as we get older, we sometimes need some tools and assistance to accomplish this goal. This is where HOP-UP-PT comes in. Doctors, community centers, or older adult themselves can recommend the HOP-UP-PT program. It has been scientifically proven; older adults who have participated in the program were 8 times less likely to fall as compared to those who didn’t participate in HOP-UP-PT. A licensed physical therapist who has been specially certified in the HOP-UP-PT program will visit the older adult’s home to deliver therapy treatments specially targeted to address the various issues that may put an older adult at risk of not living safely in their home. Take the next steps toward staying independent now.
