Occupational Therapy
Occupational Therapy for Seniors in Colorado Springs
Occupational therapy helps individuals participate more fully in activities of daily living (ADLs)—from bathing and dressing to cooking. At The Living Center at Sunny Vista, occupational therapists work closely with residents to identify personal goals and challenges, developing customized treatment plans to enhance daily functioning and quality of life.
Personalized Plans for Occupational Therapy
At the Living Center at Sunny Vista, seniors benefit from personalized occupational therapy that may include strength-building exercises, adaptive equipment training, and home safety modifications. Therapists begin with a comprehensive assessment and create tailored plans to address mobility, coordination, and self-care needs.
We also offer group sessions that can benefit seniors experiencing social isolation that offers interaction with others by engaging in meaningful activities. These group activities not only enhance motivation but support mental and emotional well-being in a welcoming, community-centered setting.
- Maintaining Independence – Adapting tasks and environments
- Improving Mobility – Enhancing balance and coordination
- Managing Chronic Conditions – Supporting daily symptom management
- Enhancing Mental Health – Boosting mood and cognition
Independence Through Occupational Therapy
Building Daily Confidence
Our occupational therapy services are centered on empowering older adults to maintain their independence and confidence in everyday life. Whether someone is recovering from illness, managing a chronic condition, or simply adapting to age-related changes, our therapists are here to help.
Each resident’s therapy begins with a review of their assessment, that may involve fall risk screening, evaluation of how daily activities are performed at home, and a conversation about the individual’s priorities and challenges. With this full picture, our team can focus on safety and function, and tailor services to help residents move with confidence and perform daily tasks with ease.
