Occupational therapists believe that your activities describe who you are and how you feel about yourself. If you are unable to do the thing you want, or need to do, to live and enjoy life, your general well-being may be affected.

Rochester Wellness Occupational therapists can:

teach new ways of approaching tasks

break down activities into achievable components (for example sequencing a task like cooking a meal).

complete home and job site evaluations with adaptation recommendations

design environmental adaptations to make daily activities more manageable

give support to the family

assess how to perform daily activities and treatment

The Occupational therapist aims to have you become as independent as possible in all daily activities including eating, showering, dressing, cooking, shopping, driving, leisure activities and work.

The Occupational therapist will work with elderly patients to assess their safety, social interactions and communication, memory skills training, mobility assessment (scooters, wheelchairs, walkers), vision interventions, continence training, and facilitating performing basic activities.
