Occupational Therapy at Home in Sandringham

We visit adults and children at home across Sandringham (3191) and the wider City of Bayside. Bayside's suburbs are served by Sandringham Hospital, with a mix of family homes, units and townhouses.

Home safety, bathroom set-up and community access are common OT goals for our Bayside clients.

Coming home from Sandringham Hospital or the Kingston Centre? Our OT can check home safety, equipment and daily routines so you settle back in safely.

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

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Sandringham

Most of the people we see in Sandringham 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 52-year-old in Sandringham is finding it harder to shower safely. Our OT assesses the bathroom, trials a shower chair and handheld shower and recommends grab rails, so he can shower independently again.
