Occupational Therapy at CORE Health Care helps individuals regain a measure of control and self-management over activities that, by and large, they were previously able to do for themselves. As human beings, the loss of independence is painful. While relying on others to provide assistance with daily chores may be necessary after an injury or illness, it can be very difficult to accept. CORE's occupational therapists not only provide consistent emotional support to residents, but also help them to rebuild as much as possible while simultaneously learning to accept those supports when change is not possible.
