When a little more support is needed
Getting dressed, reaching items, or preparing for the day may become harder after a health change. Occupational therapy looks at the tasks you need or want to do and how your abilities, equipment, and surroundings work together. Treatment may include adapting a routine rather than simply repeating an exercise.
Vanguard works with patients, families, and referring providers to clarify the requested skilled services. We review your location, referral, and coverage before planning visits. You can call to understand the process even if you are still gathering paperwork.
What to have ready
These details help the team understand the referral and avoid asking you to repeat information.
- Two or three daily activities you would like help with
- Any movement precautions or provider recommendations
- Information about assistance and equipment already available
Also have the patient’s city or ZIP code and insurance information nearby. Please share medical documents directly with the care team through the process they provide, rather than through the general website form.

Questions about occupational therapy
Care is personal. These answers offer a starting point for a conversation about your needs.
Discuss coverage and eligibilityDoes occupational therapy provide housekeeping?
Occupational therapy is a skilled service focused on function and daily activities. It is not a housekeeping or ongoing personal-care service. A therapist may teach practical ways to approach tasks more safely.
Can I use insurance or private pay?
We accept most major insurance plans and private pay. Participation, benefits, authorization requirements, and patient costs vary by plan and service. We review these details before services begin.
What should I prepare for a occupational therapy inquiry?
Please have two or three daily activities you would like help with; any movement precautions or provider recommendations; information about assistance and equipment already available. You can call before every document is available.
