Return to a Better Quality of Life

Occupational therapy helps you regain the ability to perform the three basic occupations of life, self-care, work and leisure. Our therapists help to improve your typical daily activities, such as cooking, cleaning, and self-care, which may have become difficult due to illness or injury. Through occupational therapy, you can regain some of those skills and abilities and enjoy a better quality of life.

Occupational therapy services are available at Rome Health through our continuum of care, from acute care to short-term inpatient rehabilitation and on to outpatient rehabilitation. Our staff strives to deliver consistent quality healthcare services to the patients we serve. We monitor our patients’ outcomes and satisfaction with our care. When we compare our statistics with other occupational therapy programs, our results are as good as or better than similar programs.

What can you Expect?

Your occupational therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation to determine your current level of occupational functioning. Your treatment plan will address dysfunction due to deficits in normal daily activities, sensation, and cognition.

Occupational therapists work individually with each patient to concentrate on what matters most to them. We strive to help:

  • Set and achieve goals
  • Function at the highest possible level
  • Maintain or build their independence
  • Adapt activities and the environment to their level of ability
  • Participate in the everyday activities that are an important part of enjoying life
