Occupational Therapy

We believe occupational therapy is an important element of palliative care.  We think it helps you retain your independence and a sense of control, wherever possible, in all areas of your life.   We believe that this is important to your well being.

Our aim is to look at the impact of your illness on your lifestyle and to support you in adapting to changes - as and when they happen - and to help you continue your life as normally as possible.  

The Occupational Therapists work with patients, families and carers, both at home and also at our Crawley and Surrey sites.  Our team includes a Therapy Technician who works mostly within our Day Hospices.

Occupational therapy can help with:

• managing everyday activities like dressing and bathing
• anxiety management, fatigue management
• loan equipment
• relaxation therapy
• planning your care at home like handrails and portable ramps
 

Providing care and support to people with progressive life-threatening illness and support to their families, friends and carers in Mid Sussex, Crawley, Horsham and East Surrey.
