What is Geriatric Occupational Therapy?

Geriatric occupational therapy focuses on supporting seniors with the physical, cognitive, and emotional changes that come with aging. Through personalized care, we help older adults remain independent, safe, and engaged in daily life.

Who We Help

We support seniors experiencing:

  • Mobility Limitations – arthritis, joint replacement, balance challenges

  • Neurological Conditions – dementia, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s

  • Post-Hospital Recovery – surgery, injury, or illness rehabilitation

  • Aging-in-Place Needs – home safety and adaptive equipment

  • Daily Living Challenges – dressing, grooming, meal preparation

Our Approach

We believe therapy should be fun, engaging, and family-centered. Every person is unique, which is why our therapists create individualized treatment plans based on your strengths, needs, and goals.
