“𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐮𝐦 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲…”

You’ve noticed the subtle changes, repeated stories, forgotten appointments, or confusion that’s out of character. Knowing how (or when) to bring it up can feel overwhelming.

At Occupational Therapy Brisbane, we understand the worry, guilt, and uncertainty that come with that first “something’s not right” moment. Early, calm conversations can make all the difference, even if it turns out not to be dementia.

In our latest guide, written by Senior Occupational Therapist David Norris, you’ll discover:
✅ How to start a supportive conversation with your parent
✅ 10 early warning signs (and what not to do with them)
✅ Why early discussions can improve quality of life
✅ A ready-to-use GP letter template if your parent won’t raise it themselves
✅ How Occupational Therapy can help families navigate memory changes with confidence

It’s a tough topic — but you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Ageing well doesn’t mean losing independence, an Aged Care OT can help you stay safe, capable and confident at home.

Occupational therapists at Occupational Therapy Brisbane work with you, your GP and care team to focus on the things that matter most, whether that’s staying in your home, getting back to everyday tasks, or making care easier for everyone involved.

How we can help:

1. Create a safer home: practical home-safety assessments and targeted modifications so daily tasks are easier and less risky.
Prescribe the right equipment: clinically recommended aids that protect independence (from mobility supports to everyday tools).

2. Optimise recovery: rehab and goal-led treatment after illness or injury, including support for neurological conditions such as stroke, dementia and Parkinson’s.

3. Support thinking & memory: tailored memory-health programs and strategies for people and their care teams to improve day-to-day function.

4. Hassle-free options: in-clinic, telehealth and mobile visits to residential care

If you or a loved one would benefit from a practical, evidence-based OT assessment, call us on 1300 783 200 to request an appointment or find out more via the link below:

Many stroke survivors tell us the hardest part isn’t the physical recovery — it’s the thinking changes that follow, especially with memory.

Forgetfulness, “brain fog,” and trouble learning new things can quietly impact confidence, relationships, and work.

In this blog, we explore:
✅ How common memory loss is after a stroke
✅ Why it happens — and what parts of the brain are involved
✅ Practical ways to support your memory and recovery
✅ 5 simple activities you can start today

If memory changes are holding you back, know there are ways forward.

At Occupational Therapy Brisbane we offer a practical Cognitive Fitness to Drive assessment designed for older drivers and people with thinking or memory changes. Our in-room (off-road) assessment uses objective, evidence-based measures to map driving-related skills and provide a clear clinical report your GP and family can use.

• Who it’s for — typically people aged 70+ or adults with a change in thinking after illness or injury (not suitable for those with active mental health conditions).
• What we test — attention, memory, judgement and other skills that matter for safe driving, using the DriveSafe DriveAware protocol.
• What you get — an evidence-based report indicating the likely outcome of an on-road assessment to help guide decisions.
• Practical benefits — faster, more affordable clarity than waiting months for some public on-road services; supports GPs and families with a reliable clinical opinion.

As we age, changes in memory, vision, reaction time, and physical ability can impact driving safety. Knowing when to seek an elderly driver assessment isn’t just about following the rules, it’s about protecting independence and wellbeing.

Here’s what you should know:
1️⃣ Watch for Subtle Changes: Increased forgetfulness, slower reaction times, or avoiding night driving could signal a need for assessment.
2️⃣ Medical & Cognitive Checks Matter: Health conditions, medications, and cognitive changes can affect driving. A medical review by your GP or a Cognitive Fitness To Drive assessment can help clarify your driving abilities.
3️⃣ Stay Driving Longer: Regular vision and hearing checks, physical activity, healthy sleep and nutrition, and staying up-to-date with road rules help maintain independence on the road.
4️⃣ Plan Ahead: Preparing for future changes ensures continued mobility, even if driving becomes challenging.

Your driving independence is precious, but safety comes first. If you’re over 75, experiencing memory or thinking changes, or concerned about your driving skills, a professional assessment can give clarity and confidence.

In our blog, we explore:
