Professional In-Home Occupational Therapy
Skills for the Job of Living
When a loved one has difficulty performing the meaningful activities of daily life, including self-care skills, home health occupational therapy (OT) can enable or enhance his or her participation in such activities despite the impairments or limitations caused by age, physical, or mental impairment. Sterling Care offers in-home occupational therapy services for homebound older adults with a skilled need under Medicare and as a private duty service.
Our in-home occupational therapy services in Stamford, CT and throughout lower Fairfield County can enable or enhance movement and ability in patients.

How In-Home Occupational Therapy Services Benefit Older Adults
In-home occupational therapy supports older adults by providing essential care in the comfort of their own homes. This personalized approach helps seniors maintain their independence and quality of life by addressing challenges associated with daily living activities and chronic conditions. Working within familiar surroundings allows therapists to tailor treatment plans to each individual’s specific needs, resulting in more effective care.
By receiving therapy at home, older adults benefit from:
- Enhanced Independence and Confidence: Occupational therapists teach self-care skills that are essential to daily activities like bathing, dressing, and cooking, fostering both physical ability and self-assurance.
- Fall Prevention: Home assessments and modifications, such as installing grab bars and non-slip mats, coupled with exercises for balance and coordination, help minimize fall risks.
- Chronic Condition Management: Targeted exercises and techniques support pain relief, joint mobility, and overall function for seniors with chronic conditions like arthritis or post-stroke impairments.
- Family and Caregiver Education: Occupational therapists can train caregivers to reinforce therapy plans, enhancing care quality and outcomes for seniors.
