Mobile OT in Waterways

Occupational Therapy at Home in Waterways

We visit adults and children at home across Waterways (3195) and the wider City of Kingston. Kingston's suburbs are close to the Kingston Centre in Cheltenham, a major rehabilitation and aged care health service.

After rehabilitation, the right equipment and home changes help people stay independent.

Coming home from the Kingston Centre 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 Waterways.

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

Adults

Adult Occupational Therapy in Waterways

Most of the people we see in Waterways 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 63-year-old in Waterways with a psychosocial disability wants more structure in the week. Our OT builds a daily routine, supports meal planning and practises getting to a local community class.
