Occupational Therapy
In-Home Occupational Therapy
for older adults

"Occupational therapy is a type of health care that helps to solve the problems that interfere with a person’s ability to do the things that are important to them – everyday things like:

• Self-care - getting dressed, eating, moving around the house,

• Being productive - going to work or school, participating in the community, and

• Leisure activities - sports, gardening, social activities."  -CAOT 

Occupational Therapists are regulated health professionals who work with you and your family to help you learn or re-learn everyday activities, increase your mobility, and foster a safe environment to help you rediscover your independence and ability to thrive at home and in your community. 

​

Client-centred assessment & Treatment

Following an initial interview and a functional assessment in your home or community, the Occupational Therapist will create a personalized plan tailored to your needs and goals. 

 

Our client-centered approach to rehabilitation is designed to help you:

• Enhance the skills needed to perform activities of daily life

• Develop new strategies to overcome deficits

• Increase participation in your home and community

​

Home environment assessment, Equipment & Assistive Devises

The Home environment assessment involves a walk-through of your home and/or community space with the Occupational Therapist to identify safety concerns with space setup, design, and accessibility.  The Occupational Therapist will then offer suggestions on equipment and/or assistive devices for maximal function and independence.

​

Funding

The Occupational Therapist can provide assistance with funding applications for BC Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations (BC RAHA) to help make your home more accessible and safe.
