Occupational Therapy Connecticut
UniversaCare’s in-home occupational therapy in Connecticut helps clients do the everyday things that matter – dressing, bathing, cooking, writing, getting in and out of the shower – safely and independently. Our licensed occupational therapists assess how you move through your own home and build practical strategies, adaptive equipment and exercises around it. Skilled services in Connecticut are delivered through There For You Home Care Services, a division of UniversaCare, under the supervision of a registered nurse and in coordination with your physician.
What does in-home occupational therapy include?
Why choose UniversaCare for occupational therapy at home?
Occupational therapy is most effective in the environment where the tasks actually happen. Our therapists work in your bathroom, your kitchen and your bedroom, solving the real obstacles you face each day. Because therapy, nursing and aide services are coordinated under one care team, recommendations are carried through on every visit, not just therapy days.

Common questions
Can the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders help pay for occupational therapy?
CHCPE helps eligible Connecticut residents age 65 and older, and some younger adults with disabilities, receive services at home. The program decides eligibility and which services it covers, and we can explain how to apply.
How quickly can occupational therapy start?
After a free consultation and in-home assessment, care can often begin within days. Timing depends on the schedule you need and, for insurance-funded care, on program or plan approval.
