Occupational therapists serve as vital healthcare professionals in helping individuals achieve meaningful, purposeful, and safe lives as they age in place. Their comprehensive approach encompasses everything from cognitive and perceptual assessments to physical evaluations and environmental modifications.

• OTs evaluate whether patients can safely return home by assessing cognitive, visual, perceptual, and physical abilities
• Home assessments include checking for mobility issues, tripping hazards, furniture safety, and accessibility of essential items
• Modern homes are increasingly becoming therapeutic spaces as hospital stays shorten dramatically
• OTs excel at working as team players with contractors, designers, electricians and other aging in place professionals
• Prevention is crucial—modifying homes before accidents happen helps seniors maintain independence longer
• Most seniors are unaware of how OTs can help them remain safely in their homes
• OTs often serve as the missing puzzle piece in the aging in place journey
