HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?
Occupational Therapy enables people to participate in
daily life to improve their health and wellbeing
Daily life is made up of many occupations, which includes self care (getting ready to go out or eating a meal), being productive (going to work or volunteering) and leisure (socialising with friends or doing hobbies)
We work directly with clients with dementia and families/carers affected by dementia to provide individual assessment and intervention.
Our aim is to identify our clients needs and work with them to set achievable goals. Our assessments and interventions usually take place in a person’s own environment.
As Occupational Therapists we can:
Advise and recommend electronic assistive technology, equipment and adaptations to support independence and decrease risk in the environment, including your home.
Assess mobility, including falls and provide advice and intervention to support independence and help reduce risk.
Provide goal oriented cognitive rehabilitation including home based memory rehabilitation, which has been shown to improve functioning for people with early stage dementia.
Look at improving your environment to help compensate for impaired memory, learning and reasoning skills.
Provide carers support, advice and education on how to support someone living with dementia and the importance of looking after yourself as a carer.
The Royal College of Occupational Therapists website has lots more information and leaflets about Occupational Therapy
