Community Occupational Therapy and Physiotherapy involves the assessment of people in their home environments. Clients are seen at home either because they are physically unable to attend out-patient appointments or it is determined that the home environment needs to be included in the assessment. Using a consultative approach, occupational and physical therapists focus on promoting a person’s independence and safety in daily activities. Interventions provided could include: equipment recommendations to improve movement and safety, falls prevention and education, exercise prescription, and/or caregiver education and training.

Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists are primary care professionals (just like doctors and dentists) which means you can complete a self-referral to go to an occupational therapist or physiotherapist directly. In some circumstances a health care professional may be required to complete a referral on your behalf.
A referral is required. Please fax referrals to 902-454-1477.
Nova Scotia Health's new One Person One Record system has rolled out at facilities in the Halifax Regional and West Hants municipalities, and some provincial Mental Health and Addictions Program services.
During this time of transition to a better patient-record system, our teams will keep working to get you the care you need.
You may notice staff in purple vests helping our care teams use the new system.
We appreciate your patience and understanding.
