Aged Care Occupational Therapy – In Home & Residential Care

Enhancing Independence through Aged Care Occupational Therapy

At Generation Care, we specialise in aged care occupational therapy designed to empower older Australian’s to maintain their independence and improve their overall quality of life. Our dedicated team of Occupational Therapists are passionate about providing support to help our older adults live safely and comfortably, whether in their own homes, in the community, or in residential care facilities. We understand the significance of meaningful activities and family connections, and we are committed to facilitating that journey for every older adult we work with.

Why Generation Care for Aged Care Occupational Therapy?

Our approach to aged care occupational therapy is holistic and individualised. We recognise that each person has unique needs and aspirations, which is why we create tailored solutions to meet those requirements. By conducting thorough assessments—in-home, in the community, or in care facilities—we identify challenges and develop recommendations and intervention plans that support older adults in achieving their goals, enhancing both their independence and confidence.

Specialised Services for Older Adults
Personalised Equipment Prescription: Our Occupational Therapists can recommend low-cost equipment to assist with daily activities such as feeding, personal care, toileting, transfers, meal preparation, and enjoyable leisure activities. Our goal is to equip you with the tools necessary to carry out daily tasks with ease, safety and independence.

Functional Mobility Assessments and Falls Prevention: Ensuring safety for every older adult is our priority. Our Occupational Therapists perform comprehensive functional capacity evaluations to identify risks and recommend appropriate mobility aids to prevent falls, ensuring a safer living environment, whether at home, in the community, or in residential care facilities.

Assistive Technology Assessment and Prescription: For individuals with complex needs, we can assess and prescribe higher-cost assistive technologies, including but not limited to powered mobility devices, mobility scooters and transfer equipment. Our expertise ensures that you receive tailored solutions that directly meet your specific circumstances.
Specialised Services for Older Adults
Training in Manual Handling and Assistive Technology: We provide essential training for older adults, families, caregivers and care staff on appropriate manual handling techniques and effective use of assistive tools. Our training empowers caregivers and promotes optimal safety and aims to reduce manual handling related injury and falls risk.

Pressure Care Assessments and Management Recommendations: Our Occupational Therapists conduct thorough assessments of pressure care needs, making thoughtful recommendations to help manage or prevent pressure injuries and ensure comfort and health in your daily life.

Home and Environmental Evaluations and Modifications: Our in-home Occupational Therapy assessments include detailed assessments of living spaces and environmental risk. We identify areas where modifications—whether simple or complex— can enhance safety, accessibility, independence and overall comfort, whether at home, in the community, or in care facilities.
