Mobile OT in Ivanhoe

Occupational Therapy at Home in Ivanhoe

Ivanhoe is an established suburb with period homes, parklands along the Darebin Creek and a busy shopping strip on Upper Heidelberg Road. We visit clients at home across Ivanhoe and Ivanhoe East.

Older period homes often have narrow hallways, steps at the front door and small bathrooms, so careful home assessment helps find practical changes that suit the house.

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.
