Empowering Quality of Life: Occupational Therapy in Palliative Care

Palliative care blog (1500 x 800 px)

At Empower Healthcare, we understand that palliative care is about more than managing symptoms, it’s about supporting people to live meaningfully, with dignity and comfort. That’s why our Occupational Therapy (OT) services are designed to help individuals continue engaging in the activities that matter most to them, even in the face of life-limiting illness.

A Holistic, Team-Based Approach to Palliative Care

Our occupational therapists work as part of a dedicated multidisciplinary team (MDT) that includes experienced nurses, physiotherapists, dietitians, and other allied health professionals. Together, we deliver coordinated, client-centred care that supports physical, emotional, and social wellbeing.

Whether it’s helping someone enjoy a favourite hobby, maintain independence in daily tasks, or simply feel more comfortable at home, our team is here to make it possible.

How Our OT Services Support Palliative Clients

Empower Healthcare’s occupational therapists provide:

  • Home environment assessments to improve safety and accessibility
  • Energy conservation strategies to reduce fatigue
  • Adaptive equipment recommendations for daily living
  • Support for caregivers with education and practical tools
  • Emotional and psychosocial support through meaningful engagement

Our nurses play a vital role in monitoring health status, managing symptoms, and providing compassionate care that complements OT interventions.
