Occupational Therapy
Helping seniors improve their ability to perform daily activities and live life to the fullest.
Occupational Therapy
When people hear the words, Occupational Therapy, many immediately think of their job or former career. But our occupations are more than just our jobs. Occupations can also be defined as meaningful everyday activities. As is the case with many aspects of life, we usually don’t think much about our daily occupations or routines, until we have trouble doing them. When difficulties with these Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) occur, that’s when Occupational Therapy can help. Our Occupational Therapists help people improve their ability to perform their ADLs, maximizing their independence and ability to live life to its fullest.
