Occupational Therapy at Home in Gardenvale

We visit adults and children at home across Gardenvale (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 Sandringham 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 Gardenvale.

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