Summary :
This article describes our reflections, as occupational therapists, regarding the private care of adults and seniors.
Our apartment-organized practice project began following many reflections on our professional practices. Post-hospital follow-up or unidentified handicap situations at home prompted us to reconsider our practice. Our aim is to provide the best support to people in their loss of autonomy and independence within their environment and through their activities of daily living. We therefore considered an additional solution that complements existing services and structures. Our aim is to encourage people with disabilities to remain at home, in accordance with the current public health context. Our apartment-organized practice is three living-rooms flat to replicate as closely as possible the living habits of people with disabilities. We wanted to focus more on the prevention phase with early interventions to reduce the loss of autonomy and independence of people with disabilities or aging. Our goal is to focus our support on enabling people to carry out meaningful and significant activities within their own environment or through a mediation place, our practice.
Through this article, we want to share our project, which is based on the following question: How to focuse occupational therapy support around an occupational approch for adults and seniors within a private practice?
This sharing of experience and this reflection are part of a desire to innovate in private practice occupational therapy care, but also a desire to expand our field of intervention with populations that still receive insufficient support from private practice occupational therapy.
