Aged Care OT

Aged Care OT

At Verve OT, our aged care OT services support you to stay safe, independent and comfortable as your needs change. Whether you’re at home, in supported accommodation, or in residential care, your specialised therapist will come to where you are, listen closely, and shape every recommendation around what matters to you.

Our Sydney aged care OT team aims to strengthen the routines you already rely on. You might be navigating changes in mobility, memory, confidence or energy – whatever is shifting, we help you stay connected to the activities that bring structure and meaning to your day.

How our aged care OTs understand your needs

Your therapist will look at the everyday activities that matter most, like showering, dressing, cooking, getting around your home, and managing your personal safety. We consider any changes in memory or thinking, how your home is set up, and how confident you feel moving through different spaces. If you have carers, we make sure they have the support, equipment and guidance they need as well. Social and community activities are also considered, especially if they help you stay connected and active.

We can help with:

  • Daily tasks
  • Home safety
  • Cognitive changes
  • Equipment needs
  • Carer support
  • Community access

What an aged care OT assessment can help with

An aged care OT assessment helps you understand how changes to your health or mobility are affecting your day-to-day life. We work with people experiencing dementia, cognitive decline, changes in vision or hearing, frailty and chronic health conditions that often appear later in life. Your therapist may identify hazards, suggest home modifications, or recommend equipment that makes movement, transfers or routines easier. We can also review your ability to drive or help you plan safe alternative transport options.

Planning for the future is an important part of the assessment. This might include preparing for changes in mobility, increasing care needs or shifts in your daily routines. Everything is shaped around supporting your comfort and independence.

We can help with:

  • Home safety changes
  • Home modifications
  • Assistive technology
  • Driving and transport
  • Future planning
  • Daily routine support
  • Finding home help

How aged care funding works

If you’re aged 65 or over, you may be able to access funding through government programs. We can help you understand what’s available and work with your coordinator to decide how your funding is used. Some recommendations require detailed reporting for approval, while low-cost items may be approved sooner. Your therapist will guide you through the process so each step feels manageable.
