Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy is designed to help individuals regain independence and confidence in performing the daily tasks that make life fulfilling. It supports people recovering from illness, injury, or disability by improving their physical, cognitive, and emotional abilities, allowing them to overcome challenges and live more self-sufficiently.
​
At Care for Less Homecare, our experienced occupational therapists create personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs and lifestyle. These plans often include support with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, and meal preparation, along with therapeutic exercises to build strength, coordination, and endurance.
We also provide fine motor skills training for tasks like writing or using utensils, and cognitive rehabilitation for those recovering from strokes, brain injuries, or memory loss. Additionally, our team offers home and workplace assessments to recommend safety modifications and assistive devices that make everyday environments more accessible and secure.
​
Beyond physical rehabilitation, our therapists address the emotional and psychological aspects of recovery, offering encouragement and strategies to manage frustration, anxiety, or loss of confidence.
Each therapy plan is designed to empower patients to adapt to their circumstances, regain their independence, and experience a better quality of life. At Care for Less Homecare, we’re committed to helping every individual reach their highest potential—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
