At Kiltipper Woods we provide Occupational Therapy to both our long term residents and those availing of rehabilitation care. We work in a client-centred way to enable people to do the everyday things that are important to them when faced with illness, injury, disability or challenging life events.
All of our interventions are tailored on thorough assessment and goal setting, and are responsive to the changing needs, values and interests of each individual. Our aim is to maximise functional independence in the areas of life that are meaningful to an individual and their families.
