Mobile OT in Vermont

Occupational Therapy at Home in Vermont

We visit adults and children at home across Vermont (3133) and the wider City of Whitehorse. Whitehorse is a major health hub for Melbourne's east, with Box Hill Hospital, Epworth Eastern and the Peter James Centre rehabilitation service.

OT after a hospital or rehab stay makes the biggest difference when the right equipment and routines are in place early.

Coming home from Wantirna Health or the Peter James 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 Vermont.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Vermont

Most of the people we see in Vermont 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 parent in Vermont is worried about their 6-year-old's meltdowns after school. Our OT completes a sensory assessment and builds a simple after-school sensory plan that the whole family can use.
