Occupational Therapy at Home in Berwick

We visit adults and children at home across Berwick (3806) and the wider City of Casey. Casey is a large, growing area in Melbourne's south-east, served by Casey Hospital in Berwick and Dandenong Hospital.

We see many young families and adults in Casey, from children's sensory and school readiness needs to adult daily living skills.

Coming home from Casey Hospital 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 Berwick.

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

Adult Occupational Therapy in Berwick

Most of the people we see in Berwick 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 45-year-old in Berwick with multiple sclerosis is exhausted by mid-afternoon. Our OT maps the week, introduces energy-saving strategies and recommends a perching stool for the kitchen.
