Occupational Therapy Services
When recovering from a surgery, illness or injury, an individual may need help learning how to complete activities of daily living again such as eating, grooming and bathing.
Occupational therapy is a patient-centered practice with a focus on strategies that develop, modify, return or help to maintain essential activities of daily living and work skills. Occupational therapists help patients to thrive in their home environments in a safe and independent manner. They work with a patient’s psychosocial needs and fully support the individual goals.
MemorialCare Home Health’s licensed and skilled occupational therapists have specialized training in areas including:
Productive aging
Youth and families
Health and wellness
Rehabilitation from work-related injury
Modifications to assist with disabilities
Occupational therapy helps patients come to, or return to, a state of functional independence. When occupational therapy is performed in the home, individuals have the advantage of learning skills that are pertinent and useful in their everyday lives. MemorialCare Home Health makes this easy by scheduling in-home occupational therapy appointments at times that are convenient for our patients and their primary caregivers.
How Occupational Therapy Can Help
Our occupational therapists use proven techniques to retrain an individual when that person is having difficulty getting dressed, completing grooming tasks, eating, cooking or performing any other activities of daily living. In addition, they can provide assistance in adjusting to the emotional and social changes that often come along with an illness or injury. This alleviates feelings of helplessness, lost independence and the fear that living at home might no longer be a possibility. It also provides individuals with the tools they need to continue residing at home or aging in place.
