    Client Testimonials

    Occupational therapy for aged care.

    Occupational therapy for the elderly at home focuses on improving independence, safety, and quality of life within their living environment. Through personalised assessments and tailored strategies, occupational therapists help individuals maintain daily activities such as dressing, cooking, and mobility. They also recommend home modifications, assistive devices, and techniques to prevent falls or manage chronic conditions. By addressing both physical and cognitive needs, occupational therapy empowers older adults to stay active, comfortable, and confident in their own homes.

    Adaptive Equipment

    Aged care occupational therapy at AHP focuses on supporting older Australians by prescribing adaptive equipment through comprehensive assessments that address individual needs, daily living challenges, and safety concerns. Our occupational therapists identify suitable tools and devices—such as grab bars, walkers, and adaptive utensils—that promote independence and enhance quality of life. Beyond recommending the right equipment, they provide training to ensure clients feel confident and secure while performing daily activities. They also assess the home environment, offering practical modifications to improve accessibility and mobility, enabling older adults to live comfortably and safely in their own homes.

    Home Modification

    Aged care occupational therapy at AHP plays a vital role in facilitating home modifications for older Australians to improve safety, accessibility, and independence. Our occupational therapists conduct detailed assessments of the home environment, identifying potential risks or obstacles to daily activities. Based on these evaluations, they recommend practical modifications such as installing grab bars, widening doorways, enhancing lighting, or creating barrier-free access to key areas like bathrooms and kitchens. By collaborating closely with clients, they prioritise changes that align with individual needs and preferences, ensuring the modifications are functional, effective, and seamlessly integrated into the home.

    Cognitive Rehabilitation

    At AHP, aged care occupational therapy focuses on cognitive retraining strategies to assist older Australians in maintaining independence and enhancing daily living skills. Through personalised activities, therapists work to stimulate memory, attention, problem-solving, and executive functioning, often incorporating familiar everyday tasks. By assessing individual cognitive strengths and challenges, they create tailored plans that may include memory exercises, puzzles, and practical techniques for routine management. Additionally, therapists provide guidance to clients and their families on utilising tools like calendars and reminder apps to support organisation and memory effectively.

    Fatigue Management

    Occupational Therapists play a crucial role in managing fatigue for older Australians by assessing individual activity levels, energy levels, and daily routines to identify factors contributing to fatigue. They develop personalised intervention plans that incorporate energy conservation techniques, such as prioritising tasks, breaking activities into manageable steps, and incorporating regular rest breaks. OTs educate clients on pacing themselves during daily activities and utilising adaptive equipment to reduce physical strain. They also encourage engagement in light physical activities and mindfulness practices to enhance overall well-being and energy levels.

    Independent Living Program

    Our Independent Living Program is designed to help residents maintain their autonomy by improving daily living skills. This includes everything from cooking and cleaning to using adaptive devices to simplify tasks. With a focus on occupational therapy for elderly at home, the program is ideal for those looking to remain independent while managing age-related challenges, ensuring they have the support needed to thrive in their own space.
