Entwistle Power Occupational Therapy's OT Month series, “OT Works Here,” highlights some of the key areas in which OT works to change lives by providing solutions for living.
Today we want to highlight the many ways that occupational therapy works for seniors in the following infographic which touches on fall prevention for seniors, aging in place and Canada's aging population, dementia and cognitive impairments in seniors, sleep problems in the elderly, the importance of seniors remaining physically active, and the role of occupational therapy in addressing these important issues.
