Mobile OT in Belgrave

Occupational Therapy at Home in Belgrave

We visit adults and children at home across Belgrave (3160) and the wider Shire of Yarra Ranges. The Yarra Ranges suburbs we visit have hilly streets, sloping blocks and bushland, with Maroondah and Angliss hospitals nearby.

Access around the home, steps and outdoor safety and bushfire planning for people with disability are often part of our OT work here.

Coming home from the Angliss Hospital or Wantirna Health? 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 Belgrave.

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

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Belgrave

Most of the people we see in Belgrave 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 58-year-old in Belgrave with an intellectual disability wants to shop on his own. Our OT uses a picture shopping list and practises the trip to the local shops each week, fading support over time.
