Occupational Therapy at Home in Kingsville

We visit adults and children at home across Kingsville (3012) and the wider City of Maribyrnong. Maribyrnong's inner-west suburbs are close to Western Health's Footscray Hospital, with workers' cottages, weatherboards and new apartment developments.

Narrow older homes with step-up entries, small bathrooms and getting around by train and bus are common OT goals for our Maribyrnong clients.

Coming home from Footscray Hospital or the Royal Melbourne 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 Kingsville.

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

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Kingsville

Most of the people we see in Kingsville 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 Kingsville 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 Kingsville kitchen until it becomes routine.
