Occupational therapy at home in the San Gabriel Valley
An occupational therapist retrains daily tasks like dressing, bathing, and cooking, and recommends practical home adaptations. Every visit follows the plan of care your physician signs, focused on the things you do every day.
What the occupational therapist does in your home
An occupational therapist breaks daily routines into steps you can manage and adapts the home around them.
- Retrains dressing, bathing, and grooming so you can manage personal care more independently.
- Works on kitchen tasks like preparing meals and moving safely around the kitchen.
- Recommends practical home adaptations, such as grab bars, raised seats, and rearranged rooms.
- Suggests adaptive equipment and teaches you how to use it for everyday tasks.
- Builds strength and coordination in the hands and arms for daily activities.
- Teaches energy-saving ways to get through the day without exhaustion.
