Occupational Therapy

If you or a loved one is facing challenges due to a serious illness, injury, or condition that impacts everyday activities, occupational therapy at home can offer invaluable support. Occupational therapists or certified occupational therapy assistants specialize in helping individuals overcome physical limitations and regain independence in performing daily tasks such as dressing, cooking, or personal hygiene, especially when leaving home is difficult.

So, what sets occupational therapy apart from physical therapy?

While both types of therapy may be included in your home health plan, they serve distinct purposes. Occupational therapy focuses on developing strategies to safely and effectively perform activities of daily living, whereas physical therapy concentrates on enhancing mobility, strength, and balance.
