Home Health Occupational Therapy

In-home Occupational Therapy (OT) helps older adults and seniors live independently by ensuring they have the appropriate skills and competency to perform daily activities. OT's gather comprehensive information about patient's habitual daily routines, activities of daily living, functional mobility and possible environmental barriers that impact functional performance. OT's specialize in creating a customized plan designed to improve performance in daily activities and engagement in desired leisure tasks. Recommendations for home modifications/adaptations, guidance for family members and caregivers, home exercise program, and levels of assistance required to complete activities of daily living (ADL's/IADL's). You do not need a referral for in-home care.

  • You’re having difficulty balancing, such as leaning to one side, holding onto furniture or the wall to walk around, or taking an unusually long time to do tasks like taking off your coat.
  • You have had a recent fall or discharge from hospital, leading to you to having a decrease in independence in your everyday tasks.
