At Optimal Therapy, we understand the challenges that individuals face when they experience frequent changes in their therapy team. For clients who have had multiple therapist turnovers within a short time frame, the lack of continuity can significantly impact their progress and the efficient use of their funding. This is a common issue in the industry due to high turnover and movement. We recognise the importance of a sustainable approach to therapy, which is why we take pride in our team’s stability and structured reallocation process.
Clients who experience frequent changes in their therapy team often struggle to make significant progress. Each new therapist needs time to familiarise themselves with the client’s case, which can result in valuable therapy hours being spent on familiarisation rather than direct progress. Additionally, the lack of consistency can lead to frustration and a sense of stagnation for the client.
Our solution? Stability and structured reallocation. At Optimal Therapy, we have team members who have been with us for multiple years, providing clients with the stability and continuity they need for effective therapy. In situations where a team member goes on maternity leave or leaves our team, we have a structured approach to reallocate caseloads within the team. This ensures that the client and their funding are not disadvantaged during this transition period.
By having a consistent therapy team, clients can build strong, trusting relationships with their therapists, leading to more effective and personalised care. This continuity also allows for better tracking of progress and more efficient use of funding, as therapists are already familiar with the client’s history and goals.
At Optimal Therapy, we’re dedicated to providing sustainable and effective therapy solutions for our clients. Our focus on stability and structured reallocation sets us apart in the industry, ensuring that our clients receive the quality care they deserve.
The value of long-term therapist relationships in occupational therapy cannot be overstated. By prioritising stability and continuity, we are able to provide our clients with the consistent care they need to make meaningful progress in their therapy journey.
