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.
