Occupational Therapy

The main objective of occupational therapy is to maximize your ability to perform daily tasks independently. Occupational therapy focuses on what an individual is capable of doing, rather than what they cannot do.

At First Coast Aging in Place Solutions, we help you to overcome impairments and challenges which keep you from reaching your full functional capacity. Dressing, personal hygiene, and functional mobility are a few functions that are often requested for occupational therapy, but the functions within occupational therapy are expansive and custom to each and every client.

Discharging home after being hospitalized or having new medical and physical needs can be stressful, especially when caring for yourself presents new challenges. We are your partner in facing these challenges by evaluating your loved one’s mobility, physical, mental, and emotional needs prior to discharging at home. Aligning an individual’s functional and mobility needs with their environment is key to a safe and successful discharge.

We provide comprehensive Care management services both prior and after hospital discharge. Changes in functional abilities and medical needs can reduce safety with the transition home and increase risk for falls and present other safety risks.
