Occupational Therapy at Home in Elsternwick

We visit adults and children at home across Elsternwick (3185) and the wider City of Glen Eira. Glen Eira's suburbs are close to Caulfield Hospital, a major rehabilitation centre and to Cabrini Malvern.

After a rehab stay, the right home set-up, equipment and routines help people settle back in safely.

Coming home from Caulfield Hospital or The Alfred? 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 Elsternwick.

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

Most of the people we see in Elsternwick 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 63-year-old in Elsternwick is finding it harder to shower safely. Our OT assesses the bathroom, trials a shower chair and handheld shower and recommends grab rails, so he can shower independently again.
