Quality Healthcare Resources offers occupational therapy (OT) services that can be beneficial if you are facing challenges in performing everyday tasks due to an illness or injury. As one ages or undergoes surgery, it can become difficult to carry out simple tasks that were once effortless, like tying shoelaces, holding a pen, or cooking a meal. By enlisting the help of occupational therapists, you can potentially restore your independence, safety, and confidence within the comfort of your home.
What are Occupational Therapists?
Occupational therapists are healthcare professionals who specialize in helping individuals improve the quality of life. They focus on helping clients engage in activities that are meaningful to them, such as social interaction, personal care, and the like, and ensure they learn to complete those tasks.
The roles of Occupational Therapists
Our occupational therapists keep an eye on your loved ones’ needs and help them learn or relearn essential activities they need to function and be more independent. To ensure that they get the best service possible, we also work closely with their doctor and other individuals involved in their care.
When clients seek the help of our occupational therapists, they learn the basics of personal care and maintaining a home, even with health conditions. Our therapists guide them toward improving self-reliance and independence.
The roles of occupational therapists include:
- Helping clients engage in the community
- Assisting clients to relearn basic skills such as personal care
- Coordinating with other care providers to ensure holistic care for clients
- Modifying clients’ living environment if necessary
- Performing therapeutic procedures
- Assessing clients’ abilities and goals to determine their needs and the best intervention
- Working with clients and their families to develop treatment plans
- Educating families and other carers on how to manage clients’ condition
