The Occupational Therapist's role is to optimise a person’s level of safety and independence within their own home. Occupational Therapists assess needs both in hospital and/or at home, considering all factors affecting their ability to manage daily activities. Assessments include showering, bathing, dressing, household tasks, cognitive ability and mobility around the home. Occupational Therapists also provide education to help with the patient's ability to be independent on discharge from hospital and arrange the installation of necessary adaptive equipment that is required in their homes to enable people to remain independent, safe and in their own home. If you have a long-term disability, a home visit may be required to assess the need for housing modifications or wheeled mobility and your eligibility for funding assistance to complete these. You may be referred to the service either by the hospital inpatient ward, your GP or other health care professionals within the community.
