Cumberland Park Aged Care Occupational Therapy Industry Leaders
As people age, daily tasks can become more challenging due to changes in mobility, confidence or health. Our Aged Care Occupational Therapy services support older adults to stay independent, safe and comfortable in their own homes and communities.
Through personalised occupational therapy support, seniors can regain confidence after illness or injury, adjust to age related changes and continue enjoying the activities that matter to them. The purpose of Aged Care Occupational Therapy is to improve the fit between the person, the activity and the environment so daily life is easier and more meaningful.
Our Occupational Therapists (OT) support people living with a range of conditions such as arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, dementia and other chronic or progressive conditions.
Aged Care OT can assist seniors to regain their confidence, abilities and self-reliance after ill health or an injury, or if they have a disability. As people age, they can find it increasingly harder to maintain their independence and to continue enjoying the activities they once did. Occupational therapy can provide much-needed value and assistance.
How Occupational Therapy Helps Older Adults
The goal of OT is to get the best fit between the you as the person, the activity and the environment that you perform that activity.
Some of the health conditions that a Physio Inq Aged Care Occupational Therapist can help with include arthritic conditions, stroke, Parkinson’s and dementia.
Whether the session is completed in your home, hospitals, aged care facilities or retirement villages our Occupational Therapists can come directly to where ever you want them.
