What You Can Expect

Your customized occupational therapy treatment program may include:

  • Evaluation of your skills
  • Evaluation of your home to determine how it can be more suitable for your needs
  • Ways to make daily tasks easier including self-care, and ways to manage your home and your medications
  • Equipment that will simplify daily tasks
  • Education and training for you and your family members

Occupational therapy is available to you if you’re hospitalized, and is also available to you if you’re recovering at home or at a care facility. It can be provided short-term or long-term.
