What do Gerontology Occupational Therapists do?
Gerontology occupational therapists help older adults maintain independence and quality of life by addressing physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges.
They assess and modify home environments for safety, provide rehabilitation for bodily injuries, support cognitive function like memory, and teach adaptive techniques for daily activities to improve performance and reduce pain.
They also educate caregivers and promote social engagement to combat loneliness and depression.
How they help
Improve daily living: They help with activities of daily living (ADLs) like dressing and bathing, as well as instrumental ADLs such as cooking and managing medications. They teach techniques to make tasks easier, especially for those with arthritis or joint pain.
Enhance safety and accessibility: They assess homes for fall risks and recommend modifications like installing handrails, improving lighting, or suggesting adaptive equipment like grabbers or non-slip mats.
Support cognitive and emotional health: They use exercises and strategies to support memory, attention, and problem-solving skills for those with mild cognitive impairment or dementia. They also help with emotional well-being, social engagement, and provide support for caregivers.
Rehabilitate after injury or illness: They assist individuals in recovering from strokes, fractures, or other health events by focusing on upper extremity rehabilitation, restoring strength, and improving coordination.
Provide adaptive equipment: They may recommend and help clients use assistive devices to make tasks like opening jars, reaching high shelves, or using the bathroom easier and safer.
Educate clients and caregivers: They teach both the older adult and their family or caregivers new skills and techniques, including safe ways to transfer, modify routines, and use equipment effectively.
