When a little more support is needed
After illness, surgery, or a period of limited activity, even a short walk through the house can feel different. A physical therapist can assess movement in your actual surroundings and work toward goals that matter to you, such as getting out of a chair or moving between rooms. Activities are adapted to your condition and provider’s instructions.
Vanguard works with patients, families, and referring providers to clarify the requested skilled services. We review your location, referral, and coverage before planning visits. You can call to understand the process even if you are still gathering paperwork.
What to have ready
These details help the team understand the referral and avoid asking you to repeat information.
- Recent therapy recommendations or discharge instructions
- Information about stairs, entry access, and mobility equipment
- Examples of movements that have become difficult
Also have the patient’s city or ZIP code and insurance information nearby. Please share medical documents directly with the care team through the process they provide, rather than through the general website form.

Questions about physical therapy
Care is personal. These answers offer a starting point for a conversation about your needs.
Discuss coverage and eligibilityHow is home physical therapy different from outpatient therapy?
Home therapy takes place in your own surroundings and can address challenges with everyday movement there. Eligibility, medical need, and your plan determine whether home health or another setting is appropriate.
Can I use insurance or private pay?
We accept most major insurance plans and private pay. Participation, benefits, authorization requirements, and patient costs vary by plan and service. We review these details before services begin.
What should I prepare for a physical therapy inquiry?
Please have recent therapy recommendations or discharge instructions; information about stairs, entry access, and mobility equipment; examples of movements that have become difficult. You can call before every document is available.
Which areas do you serve?
Vanguard serves Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, and Ventura Counties. Call with the exact patient location and care needs to discuss service availability. Our office is in Burbank.
