Occupational Therapy Services in Honolulu
Occupational Therapy to Support Independence in Everyday Life
Occupational Therapy Services in Honolulu for Seniors
Mālama Maika’i offers Occupational Therapy Services in Honolulu as part of our Home Health Services, bringing licensed occupational therapy directly into your loved one’s home. Delivered by licensed Occupational Therapists (OTs) under physician orders, our home-based therapy sessions are designed to help clients regain the skills and confidence needed to safely manage everyday activities, all within the comfort and familiarity of their own home.
Whether your loved one is recovering from surgery, a stroke, or an injury, or is adjusting to changes in physical or cognitive ability, our occupational therapists work directly with their physician to carry out a personalized treatment plan focused on restoring function and supporting long-term independence.
Signs Your Loved One May Benefit From Occupational Therapy
Families often wait longer than they should, usually because changes show up gradually rather than all at once. A few signs worth paying attention to:
Getting dressed or showering now takes noticeably longer, or your loved one avoids it
A new bruise or a recent fall, even a “small” one
A hospital or rehab discharge planner has recommended a home safety evaluation
Skipped meals or medications, because preparing or organizing them has become confusing or exhausting

We highly recommend Malama Maika’i caregivers. We are so grateful for the care and attention they provided for my mom and dad. This has been a very emotional time for our family, and they made sure to always approach with sensitivity and positivity.
The caregivers were all highly competent, and Malama was very helpful in working with us to find a good fit for mom and dad, and most importantly, schedule a caregiver with whom mom felt it was safe to leave dad. Mom’s schedule is not easy to work with and Malama always tried to meet her needs and be flexible with us.
Always quick to respond and easy to speak with, they were just a text or call away when issues arose. We highly recommend Malama Maika’i to any family that needs help during this very sensitive and difficult time. You will not be disappointed. Mahalo malama Maika’i! - Trina Simeona
