Occupational Therapy
Bridging the Gap to Independent Living

Aging comes with challenges, but it doesn’t have to mean giving up independence. With the right support, your loved one can continue living safely and comfortably while maintaining their dignity and confidence.
Meet Olivia: After a fall, Olivia found daily tasks more difficult, and her daughter Emma became increasingly concerned for her safety. Wanting to help her mother continue living independently, Emma reached out to Summit Health Solutions for guidance. What followed was a series of thoughtful adjustments that made everyday life safer and easier, proving that independence can be supported, not lost.
Occupational therapy is key for those looking to live safely and independently in their own homes.
Our Occupational Therapy services align with the Aged Care Quality Standards and the Australian Government's Home Care Packages (HCP) Program, providing tailored care and support.

Concerns at Home Does your parent struggle with stairs, doorways, or slippery surfaces? An OT can assess your home and recommend safety changes, like grabrails or non-slip flooring, to reduce fallrisks.

Are activities like bathing, dressing, or cooking becoming difficult or unsafe? An OT provides strategies for personal care, managing household tasks, and safely navigating your home.

Looking for tools to regain independence? An OT can recommend assistive equipment like mobility aids, adaptive tools, and communication devices.

Living in a rural or remote area? Our telehealth services provide expert OT guidance and assessments from home, making quality care accessible without the need to travel.
