Activities of daily living

Activities of daily living (ADL’s) include those basic activities we engage in to make sure that we survive and can function in society. ADL’s include some of the most important skills for independence–but also some of the most challenging.

For people recovering from injury and surgery, or managing a chronic illness or disability at home, it is often the little things that can be the most frustrating – from hair washing to buttoning a shirt.

An Empower at-home rehabilitation program with our skilled occupational therapists can help clients retrain in daily living skills and regain independence, confidence, and quality of life.

Need any minor equipment or home modifications?

Home modifications are a key factor in enabling individuals to live in a place or home of their choice for as long as possible. Our OT team are skilled at recognising how the environment affects the ability to perform desired actions.

Our Home Care Occupational Therapy (OT) team are experts in helping people live safely and independently. They employ a range of strategies to improve functional independence, increase confidence in daily activities and engage in the community.

By analysing how a person interacts with their environment to complete a task or activity, we can identify appropriate modifications and interventions.

About Empower Healthcare

We Change Lives

Changing lives is what we do.

Delivering high quality allied health services is how we do it.

Empower Healthcare was founded in 2016 by two people who were determined to improve the standards of allied health services in residential aged care and knew how to do it. With industry knowledge and an innovative approach, Adam and Matthew set about defining what allied health services can be when quality and person-centred care is placed before all else in healthcare.

The partnership, that merged clinical expertise with business acumen, soon established Empower Healthcare as a leading provider of quality physiotherapy services in residential aged care facilities in Victoria. This success fueled the expansion of our services within residential aged care, home care and NDIS to deliver occupational therapy, physiotherapy, nursing, podiatry, dietetics, osteopathy, massage and speech pathology.

Now offering comprehensive allied health services with more than 180 dedicated and passionate clinicians working in Victoria, Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, Empower Healthcare is growing and taking our unique approach with us.

A lot has changed over the years but not our commitment to the highest quality care, delivered by expert clinicians, aimed at improving the independence and quality of life of our clients- helping our clients live their lives the way they want to.

In Profile with Douglas Jones, senior physiotherapist in QLD

Introducing Doug, our senior physiotherapist based in QLD. He has over 19 years of experience working across the public and private sectors, as well as specialised sectors such as defence and elite sport. He has significant experience working with the elderly and people with a disability throughout various stages of his career, including Queensland Health and various residential aged care facilities.

Having previously owned and operated a successful multi-disciplinary allied health private practice in Emerald, Central Queensland, Doug brings to Empower a strong understanding of commerce and holistic care that will greatly complement his QLD team.

Doug passionately stands by his ethos in “having fun and true engagement with each client and their families…because the better I know and understand the client, the better I can help them to achieve their goals.”

On a more personal note:

  • A devoted father to two boys, Lachlan (11 years) and Owen (9 years)
  • Loves playing football (soccer) for his club team and can talk about football for hours!
  • Enjoys travelling (Pre-COVID) and meeting people from different places
  • Curious in learning languages and having fun by surprising people by saying something in their mother-tongue when it is not expected. It’s his go-to icebreaker that makes everyone smile.

Doug delivers outstanding physiotherapy services to our clients because of HOW he brings together his skills and knowledge from previous training, work and life experiences, to connect with each person as human beings, to achieve meaningful goals.
