Occupational Therapy

Helping patients reclaim independence — one task at a time.

Illness, injury, or surgery can disrupt the ability to perform everyday activities — but that doesn’t mean independence has to be lost.

At Brilliance Home Health our licensed occupational therapists work closely with patients to restore function, increase mobility, and improve the ability to complete essential daily tasks — from bathing and dressing to cooking and writing.

We use evidence-based techniques tailored to each individual's unique needs, always focused on enhancing quality of life at home.

What to Expect During Occupational Therapy

Each patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation to identify their specific needs and daily challenges. Based on this, our occupational therapists develop a personalized care plan that may include:

  • Customized treatment plans to improve mobility, coordination, and self-care skills

  • Training in adaptive techniques for dressing, bathing, cooking, and home management

  • Cognitive rehabilitation to support memory, problem-solving, and decision-making

  • Recommendations for assistive devices and home modifications to improve safety and accessibility

  • Education on joint protection and energy conservation to reduce fatigue and prevent injury

Occupational therapy is not only about regaining physical function — it's also about rebuilding confidence and restoring independence in everyday life.

Who Benefits from Occupational Therapy?

This service is ideal for individuals who have difficulty with everyday tasks due to:

  • Neurological conditions (stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis)

  • Post-surgical recovery affecting upper body movement

  • Arthritis, chronic pain, or limited range of motion

  • Cognitive changes that interfere with task planning or memory
