Occupational Therapy in Jacksonville, FL
With age, most seniors start losing parts of their independence and stop participating in daily activities they used to love. This is where occupational therapy comes in to help the elderly deal with these issues. We at Excellsior Home Health provide services that help your elderly loved ones to improve their life skills and to have a better life quality.
Seniors who need occupational therapy are those who have been inflected by an injury, illness or memory loss. Occupational therapists at Excellsior Home Health will work with the elderly in restoring their self-reliance. The primary goal is to help seniors to be their old selves who can live a normal life at home, filled with various daily activities. Excellsior Home Health works with seniors on issues they can fix and things they can do. The main focus is on enabling the elderly to take care of their basic needs such as grooming, bathing, or dressing.
Occupational therapy also plays a key role in dealing with patients who deal with memory loss. As the patient’s behavior changes, occupational therapists are there to access their cognitive ability and address the changes in their personality. Thanks to our personnel at Excellsior Home Health your loved ones will be able to live safely and independently while the therapist work on honing their remaining skills.
