Geriatric Occupational Therapy

Geriatric Occupational Therapy focuses on helping older adults maintain their independence and improve their quality of life. Occupational therapists assess patients' physical and mental abilities and collaborate with them to enhance daily activities, such as dressing, cooking, and managing medications. They may recommend adaptive equipment, assess home environments for safety, and provide strategies to overcome challenges related to aging. The goal is to empower seniors to engage in meaningful activities, fostering their independence and promoting overall well-being, despite the physical or cognitive changes that may come with age.
