Occupational Therapy Team Assessment

When you are referred to Essential Home Health for occupational therapy, you will be examined thoroughly by a professional occupational therapist. This assessment examines your medical condition, functional ability, and previous level of function. Additional testing may be required to determine the following:

  • Strength
  • Range of motion
  • Coordination
  • Fine motor skills
  • Cognition
  • Sensation
  • Visual perceptual skills
  • Self care evaluation
  • Previous role evaluation (ie parenting, employee, etc)

Following your initial evaluation, you and your therapist will discuss your specific goals and design a treatment plan based on the findings. Treatment will be tailored to enhance your self-care independence.

occupational therapy at home

Occupational therapists (OTs) provide skilled services to assess information available and address their clients’ needs in relation to their desired occupations, allowing them to live safely and productively in their own homes. An occupational therapy practitioner is more than just a clinician when working in a home health setting; the therapist also serves as an educator, client advocate, and member of a clinical team. The goal of occupational therapy intervention is to encourage the client’s self-care and meaningful participation in life roles at home and not just take medicine. As a result, the Chicago occupational therapy (OT) practitioner’s role can include a wide range of services such as work simplification, joint protection, gathering information, stress management, low vision adaptations, caring for children or pets, suggest practice of leisure activities, or even determining a weekly grocery list. When assessed and treated in the context of the client’s home, these tasks clearly identify both the barriers and supports that the client encounters on a daily basis, allowing the therapist to provide individualized, client-centered MD care course in our community which can take hours.
