Occupational Therapy (OT)
Images are for illustration only.
Occupational therapy helps you practice safer, easier daily routines at home—like bathing, dressing, toileting, moving around your space, and getting on/off a bed or chair. OT visits are provided only when ordered by your physician and focus on practical steps to support function, safety, and confidence at home.
Who occupational therapy can help
OT may be helpful for adults who want support with daily routines and home safety, such as:
- After a hospital stay or surgery when daily tasks feel harder than usual
- Difficulty with bathing, dressing, toileting, or moving safely around the home
- Low energy/endurance that makes daily routines exhausting
- Higher fall risk or trouble getting on/off the bed, chair, toilet, or shower
- Caregivers who want practical ways to assist more safely
Services depend on physician orders and your individualized plan of care. We do not promise specific outcomes.
