OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

Frequently Asked Questions

What is home-based occupational therapy?

Occupational therapy teaches how to do things many of us take for granted, like toilet hygiene, dressing, eating unassisted, and socializing. People of all ages receive occupational therapy to help them participate in the activities of daily life.

Home-based therapy helps to maximize a person’s activity level in their own home. Occupational therapists take into account the home layout and equipment requirements when creating a personalized plan for care.

Do I need an occupational therapist?

Are you looking to regain or maintain a level of independence that will allow you to age in place for as long as possible?
Do you find yourself socializing less with family, friends and participating less in the community?
Has it become difficult to carry out your daily routine, mobilize around your home or the community, bathe, groom, dress, cook, self-feed or complete toilet hygiene?
Are you recovering from surgery or other various medical conditions, where you need to regain important life supporting skills?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you would benefit from occupational therapy.

Will I benefit from occupational therapy at home?

Our focus is to help you to complete daily tasks and routines with the utmost safety and independence. This will require assessment and training of the tasks themselves within the home with a skilled Occupational Therapist. It may involve assistive devices and technology or adaptations to your home environment. Ultimately, we will help you reach optimum lifestyle goals to maintain independence and improve your quality of life at home.

What will my therapy include?

An individualized evaluation of performance skills.
An assessment of activity demands.
A customized intervention program to improve the client’s ability to perform daily activities/tasks to reach the goals .
An outcomes evaluation to ensure that the goals are being met and/or make changes to the intervention plan.

How are services paid for?

We provide services on a private pay basis; however, our services may be covered under Medicare benefits.

Client Feedback

Stephen F. has been my physical therapist for approximately five years. He is a very caring and professional therapist. He has always been well read in the latest and newest techniques in therapy and massage necessary to alleviate pain and also to return full motion to any part of my body that is not functioning to its full capacity. I would highly recommend Stephen. You could not be in better hands.

Following his stroke, in-home physical therapy has allowed my husband and I to enjoy our ‘together time’ more, because of the progress he has made in both strength and stamina. Continued in-home sessions have enabled him to increase his activities, outings and general confidence.

I have had the pleasure of working with Lucy K. in my home for six months now. She is always on-time, courteous, encouraging and creative. She knows when to push me, and when to ease off a little bit. My movement and energy have improved tremendously since we started working together. I always look forward to her twice-weekly visits.

My father has worked with two different therapists at Active In-Home Therapy. He has multiple medical issues since he had a stroke three years ago. The therapists’ knowledge and compassion never cease to amaze me. Even on his bad days, my father seems ready to get to work when his therapist arrives. Both therapists have been helpful educating both my Father’s caregiver and other family members.

In the comfortable surroundings of his own home, my aphasic husband has emerged from silence and is flourishing under the guidance of his able speech therapist.
