Occupational Therapy focuses on helping you regain the skills and ability to perform the "occupations" of daily living—the essential, purposeful activities that give your life meaning. Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) concentrate on improving your ability to perform Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) such as dressing, bathing, grooming, and preparing meals. This often involves working with your fine motor skills, hand dexterity, and upper-body function to make self-care tasks easier and less frustrating.
A key component of OT is adapting the task or the environment to fit your current physical capabilities. The OT will assess your home for potential risks, recommend and train you on the use of adaptive equipment (like long-handled reachers or kitchen aids), and suggest home modifications such as grab bars. Furthermore, OTs address cognitive functions needed for daily tasks, helping you improve memory, concentration, and organizational skills required for tasks like managing medications or finances.
What Is In-Home Occupational Therapy?
In-home occupational therapy focuses on helping individuals perform daily activities safely and independently. Your therapist will evaluate your needs, home environment, and functional abilities, then create a customized care plan to improve your strength, coordination, and confidence. OHANA’s in-home occupational therapy services help patients regain independence, and safely perform everyday activities after an illness, injury, or hospital stay. Our licensed occupational therapists (OTs) provide one-on-one care in the comfort and safety of your home, helping you adapt, recover, and live life on your own terms.
Whether you’re recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or adapting to physical changes, our occupational therapists help you regain the skills needed for daily living.

- Personalized evaluation and care planning to meet your individual goals
