Our dedicated occupational therapist, Winnie, recently had the joy of helping an elderly client regain their independence and rediscover the beauty of life. Mobility had become a significant challenge for this client, hindering their ability to engage in meaningful activities and connect with their community.
With unwavering dedication and a heartfelt commitment to making a difference, Winnie embarked on a comprehensive seating assessment, taking into account the client’s unique needs and aspirations. After careful consideration and with collaboration with the wonderful team at ILS, she recommended a powered wheelchair with a tilt-in-space feature, equipped with both a user joystick control and an attendant control. This innovative solution would not only enhance mobility but also elevate the overall well-being of our cherished client.
As occupational therapists, our mission is to create a positive impact in the lives of those we serve. Witnessing the client’s face light up with pure joy as they tested the powered wheelchair for the first time was an unforgettable moment for both Winnie and the entire team.
Our work as occupational therapists extends beyond simply providing care – it’s about fostering increased quality of life, empowering clients to engage in meaningful tasks, and helping them achieve their goals with renewed purpose. This is the essence of Total Health Choice’s values – trust, compassion, and care.
Collaborating closely with the client’s family and our fellow occupational therapist from ILS, Eden, Winnie ensured that every aspect of this journey was tailored to the client’s desires and preferences. We even made sure that the powered wheelchair, a stylish TDX model, was a perfect match even considering the client’s favorite colour – vibrant red!
We celebrate this incredible transformation that has brought newfound freedom to our client. He wasted no time in putting his new wheels to good use, venturing to the shops with his wife, radiating happiness and renewed confidence.
Our journey as occupational therapists is one of profound connection, understanding, and transformation. We are honored to play a small but meaningful role in enriching lives, one empowering step at a time.
