Aged Care Occupational Therapy Services
Client Testimonials
Our company have been working closely with AHP for PT and OT services for a number of years now in an RACF capacity and had an extremely proactive relationship. They were super adaptive with the changes between ACFI and AN-ACC between to old PMP model 4b model of service to the new ‘Wellness and Rehabilitation’ requirements with new Aged Care Reforms. With that, new guidelines and processes were promptly developed to specify Industry Standards, Governments Requirements and Ozcare requests, in which have all run extremely smoothly.
Working with the AHP aged care physiotherapy team has transformed my mother's mobility and overall well-being. The personalised approach and compassionate care she received not only improved her physical strength but also boosted her confidence and happiness.
The speech pathology services in the residential aged care facility have made a remarkable difference for my grandmother. The therapist's personalised approach not only improved her communication skills but also enhanced her overall social interaction and confidence. We are so thankful for their dedication and expertise, which have brought joy and connection back into her life.
Thanks for your help thus far. You guys are easy to deal with, and our client was very happy with the team.
We have just had AHP team here, they were fantastic with mum and has her booked in to visit the equipment supplier showroom on July 26th. Mum felt comfortable with the AHP team and listened to their advice and recommendations. To have mum considering a dining chair, recliner and bed is a huge step for her.
Our experience with the AHP occupational therapy has been invaluable. Not only did they visit my father in the home, but The therapist also provided tailored support that helped my father regain his independence and adapt his living space for safety and comfort. Their patience and expertise made a significant difference, and we feel more confident in his daily activities.
Occupational Therapy Aged Care
Aged care occupational therapy plays a crucial role in preserving autonomy, ensuring safety, and enhancing the overall quality of life for elderly individuals. Through personalised assessments, an aged care occupational therapist identifies seniors' physical and cognitive challenges in everyday tasks like dressing, bathing, cooking, or moving about the home. They recommend home adjustments, assistive tools, and fall prevention techniques that make everyday life safer and more manageable. At AHP Aged Care, our occupational therapy aged care services address both physical and mental health needs, enabling seniors to continue doing what matters most - confidently and in their own space.
Adaptive Equipment
Our team specialises in identifying and prescribing adaptive equipment that supports safe, independent living for seniors. Following comprehensive assessments, our aged care occupational therapists recommend assistive tools such as grab rails, mobility aids, adaptive kitchen utensils, and more. But we don’t just recommend equipment - we ensure individuals are confident in using it. We educate clients on how to integrate these tools into their daily routines, making them feel empowered and secure. Our approach also includes assessing the living space and proposing practical modifications to improve accessibility and reduce risks.
Home Modification
We offer home modification support through our aged care occupational therapy services to enhance mobility, minimise hazards, and encourage independence. Our occupational therapists perform detailed evaluations of the home environment to identify obstacles that hinder daily living. Based on these findings, they propose realistic and effective changes, like installing grab bars, improving lighting, widening doorways, or modifying bathrooms and kitchens for safer access. Every recommendation is tailored to the individual’s lifestyle and physical abilities, ensuring that their home supports rather than limits them. These thoughtful, functional enhancements are key components of quality occupational therapy aged care services.
Cognitive Rehabilitation
Cognitive changes can significantly impact an older adult’s ability to live independently. At AHP, we provide specialised cognitive rehabilitation approaches through our aged care occupational therapy programs. Our therapists use everyday tasks to strengthen executive function, such as remembering appointments, managing household chores, or following routines. Personalised plans may include memory games, puzzles, and practical scheduling tools like apps and visual reminders. Through consistent support, our aged care occupational therapists help seniors stay mentally active and better equipped to navigate daily life.
Fatigue Management
Fatigue is a common but often overlooked barrier to independent living for older adults. Our aged care OT team addresses this with personalised fatigue management strategies rooted in occupational therapy. We assess each client’s activity levels, identify energy drains, and create tailored plans that integrate energy-saving techniques. These might include pacing strategies, prioritising tasks, breaking them into manageable steps, or using adaptive tools to reduce physical strain. Our goal is to help clients do more with less effort, supporting them to live well without feeling worn out by everyday activities.
Independent Living Program
Our Independent Living Program is built around the core principles of aged care occupational therapy, supporting autonomy, safety, and well-being at home. This holistic program teaches seniors practical strategies for managing everyday tasks, from meal preparation and personal care to mobility and household chores. Our therapists introduce assistive technologies and simplified routines to minimise effort while maintaining independence. By tailoring occupational therapy aged care support to individual needs, we empower seniors to remain in their own homes longer, with less reliance on others.
