Mobile OT in Warrandyte

Occupational Therapy at Home in Warrandyte

Warrandyte is a bushland township on the Yarra River, with steep blocks, long driveways and homes set among trees. We visit clients at home across Warrandyte and around the Yarra Street village.

Warrandyte is a high bushfire-risk area. For people with disability, OT can help plan how to leave early and safely, alongside the usual work on access, bathrooms and daily routines.

Coming home from Maroondah Hospital or Box Hill 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 Warrandyte.

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Warrandyte

Most of the people we see in Warrandyte 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 47-year-old in Warrandyte who uses a wheelchair is worried about leaving safely on high fire-danger days. Our OT reviews access from the house to the car, recommends changes to the driveway ramp and helps build a personal emergency plan with his support workers.
