What conditions benefit from in-home occupational therapy?

Common needs include recovery after surgery or stroke, arthritis, Parkinson’s, cardiac or pulmonary conditions, vision or balance changes, and cognitive challenges that affect daily tasks.

Do I need special equipment before therapy starts?

No. We begin with what you have. If helpful, we recommend simple items such as grab bars, shower seats, reachers, or medication organizers.

Can you help make my bathroom and kitchen safer?

Yes. We assess layouts and habits, then suggest setups and tools to reduce strain and fall risk during routine tasks.

We can introduce routines, checklists, visual cues, and task-simplification strategies to support cognition in daily life.

How long are sessions and what should I wear?

Visits typically last 45–60 minutes. Wear comfortable clothing and supportive shoes so we can practice real activities safely.

Will you coordinate with my physician and other therapists?
