Finding the right age care service is really important. We created a podcast to help people do just that by providing information and advice from people both delivering and receiving quality age care.

In this episode of Age Old Problems: New Aged Care we get to the bottom of what an Occupational Therapist (OT) does and how they can help you to remain safe and independent in your own home.

Joining us with all the expertise is Amanda Bailey, Occupational Therapy Manager in Home Care at Helping Hand. Chatting with Kate she explains:

  • What are the different allied health services available to older people at home?
  • What is an OT, and what are the reasons someone might need one? What are the types of things an OT can help with around the home?
  • Who is eligible for OT services at home, and how is it funded?
  • How OT services can keep you living safely and independently at home for longer. Small changes can make a BIG difference.

From group programs to home visits, exercise physiologists are helping clients reach meaningful goals, whether it’s improving balance to prevent falls, maintaining memory, or simply getting back to everyday routines.

In this episode of our podcast Age Old Problems: New Aged Care, we sit down with Harry Beresford, the Exercise Physiology Manager in Home Care at Helping Hand. In conversation with host Kate Holland, he explains:

  • What Exercise Physiologists (EPs) do and how they differ from physios
  • How EPs support recovery and independence at home
  • The benefits people might be missing, like getting back to watering the garden
  • Common goals, questions, and success stories from real clients
