The assessment encompasses the following areas.
Personal care
Home management such as meal preparation
Community management tasks such as transport
Engagement in work and leisure activities
Home/Environment Assessment
Our occupational therapist conducts home assessment, which aims to enhance an individual's safety and independence within their residence.
Key areas including in the assessment:
Entry
Living room
Bathroom/ toilet
Bedroom
Kitchen
Our goals include offering advice on minor home modifications (e.g., handrails, ramps, step extensions, or stair lifts), providing recommendations and education on home safety to prevent falls, evaluating bathroom equipment needs, and assessing overall wheelchair accessibility within the home.
Dementia Care
At Wellbeing Mobile Care, our occupational therapist specialises in administering cognitive assessments and crafting tailored treatment/training plans for individuals dealing with cognitive impairment.
Our process involves identifying the current cognitive state and identifying areas of concern. We then develop cognitive training programs to optimise functioning, recommend compensatory strategies for day to day occupations, and provide carer education on Dementia and other relevant areas.
Adaptive Equipment
Our occupational therapy service assesses and recommends appropriate equipment for home environment such as the bathroom, bedroom, or living room, based on the individual’s level of functioning.
Commonly prescribed equipment include shower chair, over toilet frame, recliner, and bed rails. We also offer education and follow-up visits to ensure proper use of the recommended equipment.
Wheelchair prescription
Our occupational therapist begins with a comprehensive seating review, evaluating impairment, function, existing equipment, and anticipated activity needs.
Clients receive education about the purpose and necessity of recommended products. Following this, our OT collaborates with suppliers for trials, assessing performance and comfort.
If funding permits, the product is ordered, and the OT conducts a fitting session once the delivery is complete.
