Mobile OT in Lysterfield

Occupational Therapy at Home in Lysterfield

We visit adults and children at home across Lysterfield (3156) and the wider City of Knox. Knox is served by the Angliss Hospital and Wantirna Health, with family homes on hilly streets close to the Dandenong Ranges.

Steps, sloping blocks and bathroom access are common reasons for OT home assessments in Knox.

Coming home from the Angliss Hospital or Dandenong 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 Lysterfield.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Lysterfield

Most of the people we see in Lysterfield 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 58-year-old in Lysterfield with multiple sclerosis is exhausted by mid-afternoon. Our OT maps the week, introduces energy-saving strategies and recommends a perching stool for the kitchen.
