Occupational Therapy
This page was last updated: January 27th, 2023
Occupational therapists carry out assessments and rehabilitation to help our patients with activities such as:
- Washing and dressing
- Getting into and out of furniture
- Kitchen activities (cooking, cleaning etc)
- Feeding
- Mobility while carrying out functional activities
We may also identify equipment that allows a patient to be safe and as independent as possible at home.
