Occupational Therapy

Our professional occupational therapists use task-directed activities in the treatment of our residents whose functional abilities, daily activities and independence have been impaired by illness, injury or aging.

Occupational therapy assists our residents in adapting to their social and physical environment by mastering tasks essential for daily living. Our occupational therapists may work with residents who have debilitating arthritic conditions or those with difficulty bathing, dressing and other activities of daily living. They assist residents with impaired vision and/or hearing to function well in their environment.

Areas of treatment may include:

• • • • Functional independence: eating, bathing, toileting, homemaking, cooking, etc.
      • Maintenance of wellness: dressing and grooming
      • Prevention of further disability: home assessments and modifications, adaptive equipment
      • Increasing safety awareness
