Occupational therapy at home is care from a licensed occupational therapist who helps you do everyday tasks, such as bathing, dressing and cooking, safely and independently. We serve the Chicago area, including DuPage, Cook, Lake, Kane, McHenry and Will counties.

Common reasons include trouble bathing or dressing, kitchen tasks that have become tiring or unsafe, weak hands after a stroke or from arthritis, and worry about safety at home. These are examples, not a complete list.
