why in-home dysphagia therapy works
Getting care at home makes therapy more effective and more convenient. You’ll practice safe swallowing techniques in your real-world environment with food, seating, and routines you actually use—increasing carryover and long-term success.
Tips for Managing Dysphagia at Home
While professional therapy is essential, here are a few tips you can begin using right away:
-
Sit upright during and after meals (stay seated for at least 30 minutes post-meal)
-
Take small bites and chew food thoroughly
-
Avoid talking while chewing and swallowing
-
Drink fluids slowly—try using a straw with caution
-
Keep a food and symptom log to track any signs of difficulty
flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES)
Nexa Speech Concierge is proud to offer Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES)—a safe, accurate, and mobile assessment that provides real-time insights into swallowing function. Unlike traditional hospital-based studies, FEES uses regular food and liquids (no chalky barium!) and takes less than 20 minutes to complete.
We bring this advanced evaluation directly to you—whether at home, bedside, in a long-term care facility, or other settings—making it easier than ever to get the answers you need without the stress of travel.
We’re the only Speech-Language Pathologists in Palm City offering FEES as part of our mobile services.

what is dysphagia?
Dysphagia is a condition that affects the ability to safely and efficiently swallow food, liquids, or medication. It can lead to choking, coughing, weight loss, malnutrition, and aspiration pneumonia if left untreated. Dysphagia can result from neurological conditions, surgery, injury, aging, or cancer treatments.
At Nexa Speech Concierge, we specialize in treating swallowing disorders—also known as dysphagia—through expert, in-home speech therapy services across South Florida, including Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, West Palm Beach, and surrounding areas. Whether you're recovering from a stroke, managing Parkinson’s or ALS, or experiencing age-related swallowing difficulties, our licensed speech-language pathologists bring compassionate, personalized care directly to you.
