Black River Memorial Hospital occupational therapist assisting a patient

 

Occupational therapists restore and analyze function. Treatment methods include adjusting environment and providing activities, education, exercise, edema reduction and bracing. Our occupational therapists provide this service in inpatient, outpatient, home-based and business settings.

 

FALL PREVENTION

Fall prevention is very important to us. Our occupational therapists provide in-home fall risk assessments, which is a Medicare-covered service through outpatient services. The therapist is able to go into the home and assess risks for falling including footwear, home setup, balance, vision, cognition, and medication. Recommendations are given to individuals to help prevent future falls.
