About Mobile Outpatient Therapy

Mobile outpatient therapy is a therapy service that comes to you in your home or in the community. In every mobile therapy visit, you and your home are treated with courtesy, dignity, and respect. Outpatient mobile therapy does not require you to be homebound. For those with Medicare insurance, outpatient mobile therapy utilizes your Medicare part B benefit. 

 

Mobile outpatient OT, as an alternative to clinic-based outpatient, may be helpful for individuals who have limited access to consistent transportation, mobility impairments, fatigue, and/or immunosuppression. Mobile outpatient may also allow for more personalized and practical recommendations from your therapist within your every-day environment.

While mobile outpatient therapy has several advantages, it may not be the best option for every person and every rehab need. Live Well Occupational Therapy will always provide recommendations for additional or alternative services that ensure clients receive the highest quality of care specific to their personal goals and therapy needs.

Occupational therapy (OT) helps you do the things you want and need to do every day. OTs are trained to assess physical, cognitive, and psychosocial factors that impact one’s ability to participate in valued daily life activities, or occupations. 

Occupations include: activities of daily living (self-care), instrumental activities of daily living (care of your home, pets, dependents, and community tasks such as shopping), health management, rest and sleep, education, work, play, leisure, and social participation.

 

OTs create personalized and collaborative plans of care after considering personal, environmental, and task-specific factors to help you meet your personal goals. OTs provide both restorative (recovering lost skills) and compensatory (adapting the way we tackle a skill) approaches in rehabilitation.
