Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapists assist you in becoming as independent
as possible with your daily activities. These may include dressing,
personal hygiene, feeding yourself, getting around your home and
community, pursuit of household, work-related or leisure activities,
and all the other activities that occupy your day.
Patients are evaluated to determine which functional activities they
have difficulty completing independently. Occupational therapists work
with patients to determine mutually set goals. Equipment to meet
specific needs including hand splints , bathroom equipment,
wheelchair,or adapted utensils, may be fabricated or recommended.
The Occupational Therapy team will assist patients and family members
in learning how to do familiar tasks in a new way, and help to make
the transition back home and into the community as smooth as possible.
