Need a referral to a company in NY that provides physical therapy for seniors at home. Home care agencies only want to send home care attendants that I do not need.

Physical therapists are usually provided through local visiting nurse associations (VNA). A call to her primary care physician should be enough to get you started since s/he would need to make the referral anyway. An RN would schedule an appointment to come out and do an assessment of your mom's needs and then a PT would be assigned to her. Medicare will pay for it as long as her PCP referred,her for services.

I am doing that now and will check Angies list. Recommendations from people who have had positive outcomes holds a lot more weight that a google search. Thanks for your response.
