Mobile OT in Ashburton

Occupational Therapy at Home in Ashburton

We visit adults and children at home across Ashburton (3147) and the wider City of Boroondara. Boroondara is home to the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre in Kew and many of its established homes are period houses with steps, narrow hallways and older bathrooms.

Careful home assessment helps find practical changes that suit older homes and community OT helps carry rehabilitation gains back into daily life.

Coming home from Caulfield Hospital or the Peter James Centre? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.

Exercare's occupational therapists help adults, older people and children do more for themselves at home and in the community. We have no waitlist and we work with NDIS participants and Support at Home clients in Ashburton.

Most of the people we see in Ashburton are adults. We help with personal care, cooking and home tasks, routines and memory supports, fatigue management, community access, returning to work or study and home safety.

Example: A 31-year-old in Ashburton is struggling with the steps at the front door. Our OT recommends a handrail, a step-edge strip and a ramp and supports the home modification funding request.
