Mobile OT in Donvale

Occupational Therapy at Home in Donvale

Donvale has a semi-rural feel, with bushland, larger blocks and homes spread along the Mullum Mullum Creek corridor. We visit clients at home across Donvale, including properties with long driveways and sloping land.

Larger, sloping properties can make outdoor access, getting to the car and managing gardens harder, so our Donvale visits often include outdoor safety and access planning.

Coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Box Hill 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 Donvale.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Donvale

Most of the people we see in Donvale 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 Donvale with rheumatoid arthritis is finding it hard to manage daily tasks with painful hands. Our OT recommends kitchen gadgets that protect her joints, custom resting splints and changes to how she does housework, so she can stay independent at home.
