Support as you
get older
Getting older brings change, and the right support can help you stay independent, connected and confident. Our psychologists and occupational therapists work with older adults and their families to maintain wellbeing, adapt to change and keep doing the things that matter.

Coping with grief, loneliness and social isolation
Adjusting to a new diagnosis or chronic health condition
Cognitive assessments for memory and thinking concerns, and support with the emotional impact of cognitive change

How occupational therapy can help
Staying safe and independent at home, including falls prevention and home safety assessments
Recommending equipment, aids and simple home modifications
Adapting routines and everyday tasks (cooking, dressing, showering, getting around) so they stay manageable
Energy conservation and pacing for fatigue or ongoing health conditions
Staying active in the community, hobbies and social life
Supporting a safe return home after illness, injury or hospital stay
Working together
Psychology and OT often complement each other. Looking after your emotional wellbeing makes it easier to stay active and independent, and staying independent supports your mood and confidence. Our clinicians work with you and your family to build a plan around your goals.
We offer in-person and telehealth appointments, and in some cases a clinician can travel to you. Get in touch to discuss what’s available in your area.
