Functional Capacity Assessments for Seniors: Supporting Aging with Independence

As individuals age, functional capacity assessments help address changing physical and cognitive abilities. Occupational therapists use FCAs to evaluate mobility, strength, and memory to develop support plans tailored to seniors.

Capacity assessments guide therapy that enhances balance, coordination, and everyday living skills. They also provide a foundation for NDIS applications or private support planning to ensure seniors can live independently.

Behaviour support is another key component, addressing challenges such as anxiety or emotional health during transitions in later life. These strategies foster confidence and reduce barriers.

By focusing on seniors’ unique needs, FCAs promote dignity and support aging individuals in maintaining a fulfilling, independent lifestyle.
