Our team of Occupational Therapists enable our patients’ to regain their independence and maximise their participation in their everyday life activities by rehabilitating lost function, enhancing their skills and reducing limitations through the use of assistive devices and environmental adaptations.
A dynamic team of 4 Occupational Therapists bring passion and occupational engagement to the Faircape Health Multidisciplinary Team (MDT). The Occupational Therapists vision is to promote a fulfilling life through engagement in meaningful occupation. The practice is focused on assisting patients with a diverse set of abilities, and enabling participation in everyday activities of life to maximise health.
We pride ourselves and focus on looking at an individual’s abilities and not impairments. Our Occupational Therapists adapt the person’s environment or teach methods of using assistive devices to promote participation in everyday occupations. Occupations including: Basic Activities of Daily Living (BADLs) such as self-care tasks, Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADLs) such as meal preparation tasks, driving tasks, work, education and leisure tasks. For an individual to be able to perform an occupation or activity of choice ultimately promotes a meaningful quality life.

Simone graduated with a BScOT from the University of the Western Cape in 2017. She completed her community service in the rural area of Mpumalanga at Matibidi Hospital. Here, she learned how to work within a community setting and provided care not only based at the hospital but in the community and the home. Her experience within Occupational Therapy was extended when she worked in a vocational rehabilitation practice in Johannesburg. Here the focus was on improving optimal functioning to engage in occupations at the workplace, this engagement was believed to not only be essential but provided a sense of purpose and belonging.
