OT in Hospice for Caregiver/Family Member

Occupational therapy (OT) facilitates participation in activities of daily life. It promotes function, engagement and performance of the activities that are meaningful to the client and are necessary for independent living. Examples can include self care activities (bathing, grooming oral hygiene, dressing), meal preparation, home management, safety awareness, personal hobbies etc. 

1. I am familiar with the role of occupational therapy in health and community care.

2. I believe occupational therapy interventions could benefit people receiving hospice care.

3. I would suggest occupational therapy services to a family member/client receiving hospice care.

4. Hospice facilities should have an occupational therapist available and accessible to residents.

5. I would enjoy participating in occupational therapy based groups with my family member/client.

6. I think it is necessary to have conversations about dying with people receiving hospice care.

7. I feel comfortable addressing the subject of death with my family member/client on hospice.

How would you rate the client/hospice receiver's current quality of life?

What occupational therapy based groups do you think would be interesting/beneficial for hospice clients to participate in (ex: self-care, dressing, meal preparation, leisure etc.)?
