Occupational Therapy & Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapists and occupational therapists work with you to help you achieve your personal well-being and lifestyle goals. These goals are developed according to your needs, wishes and abilities.
At BaptistCare, we know everyone’s needs are different. We are committed to providing our services using a wellness and reablement approach.
Wellness and reablement means we want to assist you to live the life you want, by supporting you to remain as independent as possible. One way we can provide our services using a wellness and reablement approach is to offer Occupational Therapy or Physiotherapy assessment and intervention.
