Mobile OT in Ivanhoe East

Occupational Therapy at Home in Ivanhoe East

Ivanhoe East is a quiet, leafy suburb bordered by the Yarra River, with large period and post-war homes on wide streets. We visit clients at home across Ivanhoe East, from the riverside streets to those close to the Ivanhoe shops.

Many Ivanhoe East homes are older, two-storey or set on sloping blocks, so stairs, bathroom access and getting safely in and out of the house are common OT goals.

Coming home from the Austin Hospital or the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre? 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 Ivanhoe East.
