Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy
Managing basic tasks is a necessity for independence. Yet, for many people, there are times when they need help restoring those skills. That’s where our professional, licensed in-home occupational therapists in Nebraska come into play.
At Dash Home Health, we support patients as they regain important physical capabilities. Whether it’s compensating for a loss of function, adapting to a specific environment or learning to manage low vision, our therapists provide compassionate care to help recapture independence for everyday life.
Reach out to us anytime to talk about occupational therapy in an assisted living or in-home setting.
Conditions That Necessitate Occupational Therapy
Individuals may need in-home occupational therapy services for many reasons. Recovering from a serious injury or illness can take a heavy toll on the body and leave a patient struggling to perform daily tasks. If someone has experienced a stroke, cardiac arrest, spinal cord injury or an orthopedic surgery, for example, it is vital to receive in-home OT that focuses on building independence and functional skills.
Similarly, those suffering from arthritis or other conditions that impact physical movement could benefit from strengthening fine motor skills. The aim of occupational therapy at home is to reestablish a person’s basic ability to bathe, dress, eat, groom, do laundry, etc., so he or she can be as self-sufficient as possible.
What Makes In-Home Therapy So Desirable
There are many perks to receiving treatment in a home setting as compared to a medical facility. Whether you’re talking about post-surgical or senior occupational therapist support, a patient can benefit from a familiar, comfortable environment surrounded by loved ones.
At home, the therapy experience is more personal and immediately relevant, as it focuses on specific, applicable tasks rather than general ones. It’s also more convenient — the patient doesn’t have to travel to an outside setting when his or her mobility is already limited.
