Mobile OT in Pakenham South

Occupational Therapy at Home in Pakenham South

We visit adults and children at home across Pakenham South (3810) and the wider Shire of Cardinia. Cardinia's growth-corridor suburbs combine new estates with semi-rural properties, close to Casey Hospital.

New estates often suit simple, practical equipment and modifications, while rural properties need careful planning for outdoor access.

Coming home from Casey 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 Pakenham South.

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