In-Home Occupational Therapy Services for Family Caregivers
Caring for a loved one with dementia can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re doing it alone. In Bermuda, we know that 80% of dementia care is provided by unpaid family members—and many are managing this complex responsibility without adequate support, often at great personal cost.
Our In-Home Occupational Therapy (OT) Services are designed to ease this burden. Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis or struggling to manage at home, we’re here to help you understand what’s happening, what to expect and how to move forward with confidence.
We provide you with:
- Expert guidance on navigating next steps.
We’ll help you access care services, understand options and make informed decisions for your loved one. - Clear, practical education.
You’ll gain a better understanding of the dementia journey, including what to expect and how to plan for the future. - Strategies tailored to your home.
An occupational therapist will assess your loved one’s needs, recommend adjustments to the home environment and teach techniques that support safety and daily functioning. - Crisis coaching and behavioural support.
Learn how to manage stress and challenging behaviours through strategies grounded in clinical best practice. - Ongoing caregiver support.
You’ll be equipped not just with knowledge, but with reassurance—and someone to call when things get tough.
“The assessments were conducted in my aunt’s home, in an environment she was familiar with. The occupational therapist engaged her the entire time, listening, observing and guiding. We left with a greater understanding of what she needed—now and in the future. Most importantly, we had a plan to help keep her safe and independent at home, while preserving her dignity and our peace of mind.”
