VLANJ @Home Occupational Therapy Services
Our newest program, which just launched in September 2023, brings the convenience of low vision Occupational Therapy services to a person’s home. This program focuses on addressing safety and independence in completing daily living activities and the Occupational Therapist can provide timely, specific individualized recommendations in strategies to adjust lighting, enhance contrast, improve household organization and reduce the risk of falls and self-injury in the home. These services are also provided under the guidance of an eye care specialist and are approved by most major insurance plans, including Medicare.
