Home health is the best option as it provides care in the client's home and can address their mobility issues. The client can also receive ongoing therapy and medical care in the comfort of their own home. Outpatient care may not be suitable as the client has overall weakness and may not be able to travel to appointments. Long-term care and long-term acute care may be more appropriate for clients with chronic medical conditions or disabilities, rather than those who are simply weak and require continued rehabilitation.
