🏡 What Is In-Home OT and PT — And Who Is It For?

Personalized therapy, right in the place you feel safest: home.

When getting to a clinic feels overwhelming — or simply not possible — recovery doesn’t have to wait. In-home Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physical Therapy (PT) bring expert care right to your doorstep, helping you move, live, and feel better without stepping outside.

👩‍⚕️ What Is In-Home Occupational Therapy?

In-home OT helps older adults stay safe and independent by focusing on the daily activities that matter most — from dressing and bathing to cooking, walking, and hobbies. It’s therapy for real life, delivered in the setting that feels most natural: your home.

Your Occupational Therapist may help you:

• Increase independence with everyday activities

• Get in and out of the tub, toilet or bed more safely

• Build grip strength to open jars or button clothes

• Practice household tasks like reaching, bending, or lifting

• Make your home more accessible and reduce falls risk

• Recommend adaptive tools like grab bars, raised toilet seats, or reachers

• Increase strength and stamina to make daily tasks easier and more efficient

• Improve balance to support everyday activities

  
  

🏃‍♂️ What Is In-Home Physical Therapy?

In-home PT focuses on strength, mobility, balance, and endurance — customized to your goals. Whether you're working on walking across the room, climbing stairs, or reducing pain, your therapist meets you where you are and builds from there.

Your physical therapist may help you:

• Strengthen legs and improve walking ability

• Reduce stiffness, pain, or swelling

• Recover after surgery or hospitalization

• Improve balance and reduce your risk of falling

• Build endurance so movements feel easier

• Practice exercises that become habits in daily life

Also known as home-based rehab, in-home OT and PT make care more accessible and personalized. Sessions are one-on-one, built around your space, and your priorities — with no travel or waiting rooms needed.
