The Core Role of an Occupational Therapist:
On your journey to cognitive health, our registered occupational therapists are your essential partners.
Phase 1
Early Detection and Precise Assessment (Occupational Therapist)
Functional Cognitive Assessment
Evaluating the impact of cognitive decline on daily functioning through tasks closely related to everyday life, such as cooking, financial management, and itinerary planning.
Utilization of Internationally Recognized Cognitive Assessment Tools
Assessing cognitive abilities using validated instruments such as the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA).
Caregiver Guidance and Support
Educating families on effective communication techniques, behavior management strategies, and methods to alleviate caregiver stress, helping families establish a more stable caregiving environment.
Phase 2
In-Depth Diagnostic Evaluation (Psychiatrist)
-
Providing further medical evaluation for older adults with mild cognitive impairment or advanced cognitive decline.
-
Conducting detailed clinical consultations to accurately evaluate the specific type of dementia and its severity.
-
Arranging necessary investigations, including medical imaging (such as brain MRI to observe structural changes and rule out other conditions) and blood tests (to rule out other physiological causes).
-
Offering deep-dive diagnostic options, including APOE gene testing, p-Tau 217 blood testing, and PET-CT neuroimaging scans.
Phase 3
Integrated Treatment Plan (Psychiatrist)
Based on the assessment results, we work closely with you and your family to develop a personalized care plan:
Pharmacological Treatment Options
Selecting appropriate medication regimens (including conventional anti-dementia medications and next-generation, cutting-edge targeted biological treatments) based on the patient's physical health profile. These medications help slow down the decline of cognitive functions.
Core Non-Pharmacological Interventions
Utilizing occupational therapist-led cognitive rehabilitation and daily functioning training as the core backbone. This can be combined with psychological support and nutritional planning, using a multi-pronged approach to stabilize the condition.
Occupational Therapist-Led Personalized Cognitive Rehabilitation & Strategy Training
Providing evidence-based training targeted at specific cognitive domains—including memory, attention, and executive functioning—while teaching practical compensatory strategies (such as utilizing memory aids and establishing daily routines) to enhance independent living skills and maintain quality of life.
Home Environment Assessment & Modification Recommendations
Providing safety-focused and supportive home environment adjustment plans to reduce fall risks and promote autonomous, independent mobility.
Phase 4
Long-Term Support & Quality of Life Optimization
Regular Progress Tracking
Monitoring changes in cognitive function and daily adaptation to dynamically adjust the care and treatment plan.
