Restore Your Independence with Professional Home Health OT Services
In-home occupational therapy is available for all patients, including seniors, to help manage daily activities and maintain independent living in their environment.
WHAT IS IT?
Home care Occupational Therapy is a dedicated healthcare service that is wholly focused on empowering older adults to resume or improve the quality of their daily living activities. Our occupational therapist home visit program provides expert assistance in the convenience of your own home, where most everyday challenges occur, rather than in a traditional clinic-based setting.
Our licensed therapists focus on the essential concepts necessary to enhance your ability to perform activities of daily living – from dressing and cooking to managing medications and engaging in recreational pursuits. With the help of specialized equipment, adaptive tools, and targeted exercises, we assist you in overcoming physical, cognitive, or emotional obstacles that have prevented you from achieving independence. Every intervention used aims to increase your quality of life, whether this be training your grip strength using foam blocks or teaching you a cognitive puzzle to improve memory.

Frequently Asked Questions
While PT mainly deals with motion, strength, and pain management, OT focuses on independent function in activities of daily living. Occupational therapists assist you in becoming independent (or as independent as possible) in daily living and working. We don't just treat physical components, but also cognitive, sensory, and psychological aspects of your body, which enables you to perform the activities you value.
Medicare covers occupational therapy services when they're medically necessary and your doctor prescribes them. Private insurance plans often cover screening as well. We process your insurance benefits and ensure that you are informed of any applicable co-pays or deductibles before treatment. We handle all the billing paperwork on our end to streamline the process for you.
The best tools may vary for your unique set of challenges. Some commonly used products include jar openers to assist with a weak grip, sock aids for limited flexibility, weighted utensils for tremors, and grab bars, a bathroom safety essential. During an assessment, your therapist will recommend items that are best suited for you and will also teach you how to use them correctly. We develop straightforward, practical solutions that enhance people's day-to-day lives.
Providing cognitive support is one of the most crucial aspects of occupational therapy. We employ structured activities, memory aids, and compensatory strategies to manage these cognitive changes. It could mean developing lists, structuring medications, implementing reminders, and even playing targeted brain games or puzzles to help keep the mind sharp.
The duration of treatment is based on the needs and goals. It can take up to 4-6 weeks for some clients to achieve what they came in seeking, and sometimes continued support is required over an extended period. Patients can expect to receive 2-3 visits weekly initially, tapering down as their independence increases. During evaluation, your therapist will provide you with realistic timelines and help you celebrate every little milestone as you work towards your goals.
