In-home occupational therapy
An occupational therapist (OT) helps you manage everyday activities safely. At home, an OT can assess falls risk, recommend grab bars and equipment, and teach easier ways to bathe, dress and cook.
OTs are regulated by the College of Occupational Therapists of Ontario. Home visits are common after surgery, a stroke, or a fall.
