At any time, you, a family member, or someone you care about may be admitted to a hospital. Occupational therapists can make the everyday possible for patients.
They help people regain their independence while in hospital and prepare them for their return home.
Working closely with Doctors and other members of a rehabilitation team occupational therapists help people regain day to day function by
Creating splints to reduce pain and promote healing,
Teaching skills and providing equipment to help with everyday tasks, like dressing or showering,
Assessing needs for wheelchairs and other mobility aids to increase independence,
Providing counseling and therapy to aid in coping with mental illness.
When it comes time for leaving the hospital, occupational therapists are vital for discharge planning. They meet with patients and family, listen to their concerns about managing at home, and then recommend changes for home safety modifications to ensure a successful transition.
