How Occupational Therapy Can Support Seniors to Stay Independent at Home
The Role of OT in Aged Care
Growing older doesn’t mean giving up your independence. Occupational therapists specialise in helping seniors live safely and comfortably at home for as long as possible.
Common Supports We Provide
Our aged care services include:
Home safety assessments to reduce falls
Equipment prescriptions (shower chairs, rails, personal alarms)
Education and strategies to conserve energy
Minor home modifications (ramps, rails)
Mobility support
Falls Prevention: A Top Priority
Falls are one of the leading causes of injury in older Australians. Our OTs can recommend practical solutions to help you stay steady and confident.
