Occupational therapy

Occupational Therapists aim to help you achieve your full potential. They can help you look after yourself, feel safer in your own home and carry out day-to-day activities. 

Occupational Therapists will work with you in our own home to identify the areas you would like help with. They will work with you to achieve the outcomes that are important to you. 

Occupational Therapists also support families and care providers.

  • physical changes to your home like adaptations
