traditional OT services
Traditional OT services include interventions that promote safety and independence while bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, housekeeping, preparing meals, caring for children or pets, retrieving mail, or caregiving for a loved one. The services can be provided before or after a life event.
“Prehab” is a service to help plan your recovery and accessibility of your home before an elective procedure. Traditional rehab services occur after a hospitalization or life event such as a fall or new diagnosis such as a stroke, diabetes, or macular degeneration.
