Occupational Therapy at Home in Maribyrnong

We visit adults and children at home across Maribyrnong (3032) 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 Maribyrnong.

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