Occupational Therapy
Occupational therapy assists individuals in adapting to their social and physical environments to maximize their functional potential. Read on to learn how Princeton Health Care Center can help you understand the benefits of our occupational therapy programs.
Occupational therapy can pick up where physical therapy leaves off or can be a therapeutic approach in its own right. This works with people who have a specific amount of strength and focuses on improving motor skills. It’s a common aspect of rehabilitation, but it’s also used to counteract or prevent some of the effects of aging.
Some OT services utilized by our therapists include:
As we age, it’s not uncommon for things not to work as well as they once did. We may never again have the strength, flexibility, or resilience we had in our twenties, but that doesn’t mean we cannot improve our lives by making the most of the bodies we have right now. Princeton Health Care Center has helped countless Mercer County WV seniors enjoy a life worth living, so call us today to see how we can help you or the ones you love.
Now that you know what occupational therapy does, it’s worth considering how it benefits the recipient.
Besides often being home-bound by functional and mobility limitations, seniors with mobility issues also experience frustration. Nevertheless, the help of occupational therapy enables patients to regain independence and live a meaningful life.
Life isn’t as enjoyable when you cannot do as much as you used to. If you miss quality time with your grandkids, a night out with friends or loved ones, or just the freedom to putter in your workshop when you feel like it, occupational therapy can help you return to those activities. What’s more, everyday activities like cooking, dressing, and showering can happen on your terms and time.
Limited physical activity can also isolate us from feeling part of a community. Whether it’s bingo night, a sewing circle, your rosary society, or laughing over coffee and donuts with friends, staying active helps your mind, as much as your body, stay fit.
