Occupational Therapy at Home in Kilsyth

We visit adults and children at home across Kilsyth (3137) and the wider City of Maroondah. Maroondah's suburbs are served by Maroondah Hospital in Ringwood East and a busy retail hub around Eastland and Ringwood station.

Community access, public transport and home safety are common OT goals for our Maroondah clients.

Coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Wantirna Health? 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 Kilsyth.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Kilsyth

Most of the people we see in Kilsyth 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 24-year-old in Kilsyth with an acquired brain injury wants to cook for himself. Our OT breaks meals into simple steps, sets up a visual recipe system and practises in the Kilsyth kitchen until it becomes routine.
