Community Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy involves the assessment of people in their home environments. Clients are seen at home either because they are physically unable to attend out-patient appointments or it is determined that the home environment needs to be included in the assessment. Using a consultative approach, occupational and physical therapists focus on promoting a person’s independence and safety in daily activities. Interventions provided could include: equipment recommendations to improve movement and safety, falls prevention and education, exercise prescription, and/or caregiver education and training.

Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists are primary care professionals (just like doctors and dentists) which means you can complete a self-referral to go to an occupational therapist or physiotherapist directly. In some circumstances a health care professional may be required to complete a referral on your behalf.
A referral is required. Please fax referrals to 902-454-1477.
