Occupational Therapy at Home in Brighton East

We visit adults and children at home across Brighton East (3187) and the wider City of Bayside. Bayside's suburbs are served by Sandringham Hospital, with a mix of family homes, units and townhouses.

Home safety, bathroom set-up and community access are common OT goals for our Bayside clients.

Coming home from Sandringham Hospital or Caulfield 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 Brighton East.

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