Occupational Therapy at Home in Aspendale Gardens

We visit adults and children at home across Aspendale Gardens (3195) and the wider City of Kingston. Kingston's suburbs are close to the Kingston Centre in Cheltenham, a major rehabilitation and aged care health service.

After rehabilitation, the right equipment and home changes help people stay independent.

Coming home from the Kingston Centre or Dandenong Hospital? 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 Aspendale Gardens.

Assessments anywhere: functional capacity assessments and other OT assessments are available in Aspendale Gardens. Ongoing in-home therapy depends on OT availability, so contact us to confirm.
