A GLIMPSE INTO OCCUPATIONAL THERAPYHow do occupational therapists help in the care of Alzheimer’s patients?
Occupational therapy helps Alzheimer’s patients manage their daily activities and routines, while also engaging in meaningful tasks or recreational activities. Occupational therapists focus on enabling patients to live as independently as possible, despite their cognitive limitations. They aim to ensure that their approach benefits both the patient and the family, easing the burden on caregivers and improving the patient’s quality of life.
