Occupational Therapy

The ability to receive care in the comfort of your own home is one of the main benefits of our service as it offers a great logistical advantage by preventing travel and parking costs as well as potentially the need to take time off from work. By offering Occupational Therapy at home, patients can preserve their energy and motivation for the session itself, without worrying about how to get to it.

Especially when one is facing an injury or illness, comfort and familiarity are of utmost importance. By receiving Occupational Therapy at home, patients will be more comfortable and relaxed, thus further enhancing the treatment and encouraging better results. A familiar environment will also help the individual to remember and perform the recommended exercises, allowing treatment time to be used for building strength, optimising mobility, and taking steps towards independence and confidence in one’s own surroundings.

Home visits can be more helpful when it comes to providing an accurate risk assessment as well as advice on how to create a safer home environment; particularly following a fall or accident within the home. What’s more, many exercises will be tailored towards helping the patient navigate their own home, together with ergonomics advice, giving them the practical skills they need to live safely.

Occupational Therapy is key for a good recovery following an operation such as a knee or hip replacement. In many cases, driving is not possible or advisable, and traveling by public transport or obtaining a lift from carers, family, or friends can be quite difficult. This is why rehabilitation at home is the best solution : a series of home appointments to ensure that no time is wasted, aiding the patient to move towards recovery with a personalised program.
