What is Occupational Therapy?
Occupational Therapy enables people to participate in daily life to improve their health and wellbeing.
Daily life is made up of many occupations, which includes self care (getting ready to go out or eating a meal), being productive (going to work or volunteering) and leisure (socialising with friends or doing hobbies).
How can Occupational Therapists help those affected by dementia?
As Occupational Therapists we can can work with you to overcome the barriers that prevent you from doing what matters to you and support you to live well with dementia. This is the ethos behind Continuing to be Me.
