Occupational Therapy

occupational therapy at h2 health

Occupational therapy is the use of therapeutic treatments to develop, recover, or maintain the everyday living and work skills of patients with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities. Occupational therapy is an evidence-based practice deeply rooted in science.

Our occupational therapists enable people of all ages to live life to its fullest by promoting optimal health and treating all the potential impediments caused by illnesses, disabilities, and injuries. We tailor our care to your individual needs. Our clinicians have a holistic perspective, in which the focus is on adapting the environment and/or task to fit the patient. Your input and priorities are an integral part of our therapeutic services.

Not all H2 Health Family locations provide occupational therapy services. Please call your preferred clinic to confirm this service is provided. You can view a complete list of locations here.

REMASTER ACTIVITIES OF DAILY LIVING

Occupational Therapists are passionate about helping patients live life independently. Whether patients are looking to get out of the house for social events, clean their house independently, or button their own shirt, we work with the patient and their caregivers to reach their specific goals. We then replicate daily tasks in a safe environment to give them the confidence they need for real world activities. We pair these simulations with education on adaptive equipment so they feel confident and safe. Benefits of Occupational Therapy intervention include:

  • Quicker return to independence to improve quality of life
  • Decreased fall risk with less hospitalizations
  • Reduced burden to caregivers

COGNITIVE THERAPY

Occupational Therapists are skilled in helping with self care, community living skills, and general activities of daily living in order to address the effects of cognitive deficits on a patient’s daily life. We create a customized plan for each patient to ensure they are equipped to complete their daily tasks safely and have the thinking and processing skills needed to accomplish everyday life. We can help build confidence in everyday tasks such as:

  • Paying Bills
  • Sequencing
  • Planning
  • Driving (transfers, low vision)
  • Social Exposure
  • Managing medications

WHAT TO EXPECT
