Mobile OT in Surrey Hills

Occupational Therapy at Home in Surrey Hills

Surrey Hills is an established suburb with period homes, tree-lined streets and the Union Road shopping strip. We visit clients at home across Surrey Hills.

Many homes are older, with steps at the entry and original bathrooms, so home access and bathroom set-up are common OT recommendations.

Coming home from Box Hill Hospital or the Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre? 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 Surrey Hills.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Surrey Hills

Most of the people we see in Surrey Hills 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 64-year-old in Surrey Hills with a spinal condition can no longer use the shower-over-bath safely. Our OT assesses the bathroom and writes an NDIS report for a step-free shower.
