Geriatric occupational therapy helps older adults stay active, safe and independent. With age, vision dims, hearing fades, joints stiffen and memory may slip. Each change can make familiar tasks harder, and fear of falling can lead people to do less.

Families in Kandivali searching for an occupational therapist in Kandivali can ask the Apex helpline which unit offers geriatric sessions. The therapist visits the problem tasks, such as getting out of the bath or managing medicines, and finds a safer way. Home changes and simple aids often matter more than exercise alone.

Geriatric services include:

• Home Safety Advice: Review of lighting, floors, bathrooms and stairs, with suggestions such as grab rails, non-slip mats and clear walkways that reduce the risk of falls.
• Daily Living Training: Practice in dressing, bathing, cooking and managing medicines, using techniques and tools that save energy and protect painful joints.
• Memory and Routine Support: Visual cues, written schedules and organised spaces that help people with early memory problems stay safe and confident at home.
• Energy Conservation: Methods for pacing activity and using breathing control, helpful for people with heart or lung conditions who tire easily.
