Amanda McKinnon

Independence Coach (Occupational Therapist)

As the Independence Coach (Occupational Therapist), my role involves supporting residents to increase their independence in meaningful daily activities, both within the home and in the community. This involves assessing where individuals are at, what support they need, and what skills they can build on. This might involve learning to use strategies to support memory and attention while making a meal. Or, trying an assistive device to increase independence with dressing, or a mobility aid to get around more independently.
