Care that comes to you
Home visits are helpful when travelling to the practice is difficult, when a child is better supported in a familiar environment, when an elderly patient needs care at home, or when schools and facilities need services brought to them.

Where suitable, selected hearing-related services can be provided outside the practice by arrangement. The team first confirms whether the required equipment, environment, travel distance and appointment type are appropriate for a home or facility visit.

- Hearing aid support for existing users

- Speech therapy sessions for children
- Language and communication support
- Adult communication therapy where suitable

Stroke, traumatic brain injury and neurological conditions
We provide speech therapy support for adults with communication and related therapy needs following stroke, traumatic brain injury and other neurological conditions. Home visits may be especially helpful when travel is difficult or when therapy needs to be functional in the patient’s daily environment.
PMB applications for qualifying conditions
For qualifying Prescribed Minimum Benefit (PMB) conditions, we can assist with PMB application documents, therapy motivations and supporting clinical reports where appropriate.
Travel areas are confirmed before booking
Home visits may be available in Bryanston, Sandton and selected surrounding areas. Longer-distance visits may be considered depending on the service, schedule, travel time and clinical suitability. Contact the practice to confirm current availability.

Stroke and neurological patients
Helpful for patients recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury or other neurological conditions where travel is difficult.
Schools and workplaces

Important to know
Some audiology and speech therapy services depend on the patient’s age, equipment needs, environment, noise levels, access to electricity, testing conditions and clinical suitability. We will guide you if a practice-based appointment is more appropriate.
Not sure what kind of home visit you need?
Send us a WhatsApp with the patient’s age, location and concern. We will advise whether audiology, speech therapy or another starting point is most suitable.

Yes, for qualifying PMB conditions we can assist with application documents, therapy motivations and supporting reports where appropriate.
