Occupational Therapy
For many older adults, driving is a symbol of freedom and independence, and represents the ability to maintain connections and actively participate in the community. However, driving abilities can change over time due to declining vision, decreased strength, stiff joints, slowed reaction times, medical conditions or medication usage.
Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of injury-related deaths among 65 to 74 year olds and are the second leading cause, after falls, among 75 to 84 year olds. Many people are hesitant to raise concerns about their own or their loved one’s driving because they fear a loss of independence.
One of our goals at Newton-Wellesley Hospital’s Rehabilitation Services is to make your experience as easy and stress-free as possible. Learn about the four basic tasks to complete before your first visit.
The focus of occupational therapy is to help individuals regain or develop skills needed for independence when functional impairments interfere with their ability to engage in valued activities of daily living in the home and community.
The Cast Room at Newton-Wellesley Hospital provides a variety of outpatient and inpatient services. Learn More.
