When it comes to aging in place, having the right care at home can make all the difference. One of the most powerful tools for maintaining independence, preventing injury, and improving quality of life is occupational therapy, a specialized service offered by CarePlus Home Health.
Whether you are recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or simply want to stay active and safe in your own home, CarePlus’ in-home occupational therapy services are designed to help you keep living life your way.
What Is Occupational Therapy?
The American Occupational Therapy Association defines occupational therapy as a client-centered service that supports people in maintaining or regaining essential daily living skills. These skills, such as bathing, dressing, cooking, and enjoying hobbies, help individuals live safely, confidently, and independently. In a home health care setting, occupational therapy allows seniors to receive personalized treatment in the comfort of home, supporting their goals for aging in place.
At CarePlus Home Health, our licensed occupational therapists assess your abilities, home environment, and daily routines to create a customized plan that promotes safety, restores independence, and helps you thrive. This may include adaptive techniques, home modifications, and assistive devices all designed to keep you active, confident, and engaged in the activities that matter most.
Benefits of Occupational Therapy
Maintain Independence in Daily Living – Our therapists help with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs), such as grooming, eating, and mobility, and Instrumental ADLs like managing medications, shopping, and light housekeeping. At CarePlus, we focus on practical, real-world solutions so you can keep doing the things that matter most.
Stay Safe While Aging in Place – Falls are one of the biggest risks for older adults. CarePlus occupational therapists identify hazards like loose rugs, poor lighting, or hard-to-reach items and recommend simple, affordable home modifications such as grab bars, non-slip mats, or adaptive tools.
Customized Strategies for Your Needs – Every CarePlus occupational therapy plan is tailored to your goals, whether you want to cook again after a stroke, garden without pain, or safely care for a spouse. Our team may suggest adaptive equipment, energy-saving techniques, or memory cues for cognitive challenges.
Faster Recovery After Illness or Injury – If you have recently had surgery, been hospitalized, or experienced a medical setback, our in-home occupational therapy can help you regain strength and confidence while reducing the risk of readmission.
Support for Caregivers – We do not just work with clients, we also teach family members safe ways to assist with daily tasks, easing the stress of caregiving while promoting your loved one’s independence.
