You are still you.
Aphasia changes language, pace, confidence, and family life. It does not remove the person.
Presence Medicine adds in-home physician time, interpretation, and discretion for families already doing the work of aphasia care.
What Jenelle does
Dr. Jenelle Jindal joins the existing support environment as a physician who can spend sustained time with the patient and family at home.
She listens carefully and works at an aphasia-aware pace.
She uses speech, writing, gesture, visuals, and pause.
She helps make the broader recovery picture more coherent.
What this practice is for
This practice may be helpful if:
- You have aphasia support and still need more physician time
- Standard appointments feel too compressed for the recovery effort
- Care needs to fit around existing doctors, therapists, and home support
- Multiple people are involved and the family needs more coherence
- Privacy, discretion, and calm are essential
Working within your existing care team
Presence Medicine welcomes strong existing care. The goal is to add physician presence at home, more time for communication, and coordination around the larger recovery picture.
For legal and professional reasons, the SLP does not work for Presence Medicine. Any SLP relationship is separate. With permission, Dr. Jindal can coordinate with the SLP and other clinicians while keeping roles clear.
What this practice is not
Presence Medicine is not:
- Emergency care
- A replacement for your neurologist, primary care physician, or speech therapist
- A guarantee that every word will come back
- A place where you must speak quickly to be understood
It is built around time, listening, communication access, and physician-level attention at home.
Questions people often have
Do I need to speak easily to begin?
No. The practice is built for people who may need time, writing, gesture, family support, or other communication accommodations.
Can I keep my other doctors and therapists?
Yes. Presence Medicine works alongside existing care. Any SLP relationship remains separate and is paid separately by you or your family.
Is this only for recent stroke?
Not necessarily. Some people seek this kind of support early. Others do so later, when they realize the usual structure of care is still not meeting the problem.
Will you talk with my family?
With your permission, yes.
Is this private pay?
Yes. Details are discussed during intake.
How to begin
The first step is a confidential conversation about history, current care, goals, communication needs, privacy, and fit.
Aphasia changes the pace of life and language. It does not remove the person.
