Occupational Therapy Services: Restore Independence at Home

What Are Occupational Therapy Services?

Occupational therapy focuses on helping people return to the activities that matter most—like dressing, bathing, cooking, and managing work or household tasks. Unlike physical therapy, which builds muscle strength and movement, occupational therapy emphasizes functional recovery and the safe performance of daily routines. At Aleris, each session is tailored to your goals, health condition, and home setting.

In-Home Occupational Therapy Services: Convenient, Personalized Care

With in-home occupational therapy services, our therapists bring hospital-quality rehabilitation directly to your doorstep. By working in your own environment, we can evaluate real-world barriers and help you practice safe solutions for tasks like getting in and out of bed, showering, or preparing meals. This personalized care reduces hospital readmissions, enhances comfort, and helps patients maintain their dignity and independence.
