Therapy Services (OT/PT)

Occupational Therapy (OT) and Physiotherapy (PT) play a vital role in promoting residents’ mobility, independence, and overall well-being. In licensed nursing homes, OT and PT services are more robust and standardized, often delivered by in-house or contracted professionals as part of the facility’s care plan, with a focus on rehabilitation, fall prevention, and equipment assessment. In residential care facilities (RCFs), access to therapy services may be more limited and is typically arranged on a referral basis through external providers. While not all RCFs include regular on-site therapy, the care team can support residents in accessing assessments and mobility supports when required. Availability and frequency of services may vary based on site, care level, and individual needs.
