The occupational therapist could visit Hilary at home to see what everyday tasks she struggles with. They might suggest small changes like adding handrails in the bathroom, using a shower seat, or rearranging her kitchen so things are within easy reach. These changes would make it safer and easier for Hilary to move around and stay independent.

The occupational therapist could work alongside Hilary to practise things like getting dressed, preparing meals, or using special equipment. They might show her simpler ways to do things or provide tools that make tasks easier. For example, adapted cutlery or easy-to-use buttons. This support would help Hilary feel more confident and able to manage her own care.
