Is It Right For You?

Is occupational therapy at home right for me or my parent?

Occupational therapy at home may be a fit if your doctor says you need therapy and everyday tasks have become hard or unsafe. Tap anything below that sounds like you or someone you love.

What does “homebound” mean?
  • Leaving home is not recommended because of your condition, or you have trouble leaving without help.
  • You are normally unable to leave home, and leaving takes a lot of effort.
  • You may need a walker, wheelchair or another person’s help.
  • Homebound does not mean you can never leave home.

Medicare may cover home health care when eligibility requirements are met, including a doctor’s or provider’s plan of care, a need for skilled care, and homebound status.

Not sure? That is okay.

Call us and we will talk it through, with no obligation. We will tell you if home health is a fit.

Questions

Occupational therapy at home: your questions answered

Short answers to what families ask us most.

What is occupational therapy at home?

Occupational therapy at home is care from a licensed occupational therapist who helps you do everyday tasks, such as bathing, dressing, cooking and managing medications, safely and as independently as possible.

How is it different from physical therapy?

Physical therapy focuses on strength, balance and walking. Occupational therapy focuses on doing daily tasks safely and independently. Many people receive both.

Does Medicare cover occupational therapy at home?

Original Medicare may cover home health services from a Medicare-certified agency when eligibility requirements are met, including a doctor’s or provider’s plan of care, a need for skilled care, and homebound status. We can explain your options.

Can I get occupational therapy on its own?

It is often ordered together with nursing or physical therapy. Whether it can be ordered alone depends on your coverage and your doctor’s orders. Call us and we will explain your options.

Do I need a doctor’s order before I call?

No. Call us first. If home health is appropriate, we coordinate with your doctor or other health care provider to obtain the necessary order.

What happens at the first visit?

Your therapist watches how you manage daily tasks, looks at your home for safety, and sets goals with you. Your plan follows your doctor’s orders.

Will I need special equipment?

Not always. Your therapist may suggest simple items, such as a shower chair, grab bars or a reacher, and show you how to use them. We can also help arrange medical equipment.

How often will a therapist visit, and for how long?

Visit frequency follows your doctor’s orders and your needs. Therapy is usually short-term and goal-driven, and it continues while you are making progress.
