FAQs

Aged Care Occupational Therapy: your questions answered

Common questions about aged care occupational therapy from older adults, families and carers across Liverpool and Western Sydney.

What is aged care occupational therapy?

Aged care occupational therapy helps older adults stay safe and independent at home. An occupational therapist assesses how you manage daily tasks and recommends practical supports such as equipment, home modifications or strategies to reduce falls.

Who is aged care OT for?

It can help older adults who are finding everyday tasks, mobility or home safety more difficult. It is also useful for families and carers who want to support a loved one to remain safely at home.

What does an aged care OT assessment involve?

Your occupational therapist talks with you about your daily life, assesses how you manage tasks and move around your home, and considers any falls risks. They then recommend practical supports and provide a written summary.

How can occupational therapy help prevent falls?

An occupational therapist can identify hazards in your home and daily routine and suggest changes such as equipment, modifications or safer ways to complete tasks. The aim is to reduce your risk of falls and help you stay confident at home.

Is aged care occupational therapy funded?

Occupational therapy may be funded through aged care programs such as a Home Care Package, depending on your assessment and approved supports. Funding and eligibility are determined through My Aged Care, so it is best to check with your provider or My Aged Care.

Who completes the assessment?

Your assessment is completed by a registered occupational therapist who is qualified to support older adults to stay safe and independent. Occupational therapists are registered with the Occupational Therapy Board of Australia through AHPRA.

How long does it take, and when will I get the report?

An aged care assessment usually involves a session, often at home, followed by a written summary of recommendations. Timeframes vary with your needs, so we confirm what to expect when you book.
