Home visits by occupational therapists - THEA mobil
If you suffer from a chronic illness and need occupational therapy but find it too difficult to go to a practice, you can arrange a home visit.
Description
"THEA mobil - therapy and help in everyday life for older people" is an outreach therapy programme for people aged 60 and over who live in Munich. It helps to maintain and improve the everyday skills of older people through occupational therapy training at home. In addition, the occupational therapists also arrange and coordinate other necessary assistance in outpatient home care for older people, such as medical, nursing and speech therapy care or meals on wheels.
THEA mobil is a care programme offered by four facilities and supported by the state capital with funding. Some of the centres have different target groups and treatment focuses, which you can read about on their websites.
The therapies and assistance take place in the home and in the home environment.
