FULL HOME SAFETY ASSESSMENT WITH OT MEDICAL EVALUATION & REPORT

This package includes everything from the Full Home Safety Assessment and it goes a step further by including a Medical Evaluation from a licensed Occupational Therapist who is also a Certified Live-in-Place Specialist. This evaluation focuses on the client’s medical concerns and needed home modifications, as well as:

Custom exercises and breathing techniques to improve muscle tone, coordination, and endurance
Discussions on the best ergonomic body mechanics based on conditions
Safety with Activities of Daily Living (ADLs)
Cognitive status and sensory awareness

The detailed report provided with this assessment outlines immediate, intermediate, and long-term recommendations and referrals to achieve the highest level of safety and independence possible. This report is especially valuable if you are considering or already planning in-depth remodel projects on specific areas around the home, as it can be presented to your contractor and referred to during the planning phases to ensure your home fits your exact needs while preventing any future falls or injuries from happening.

BASIC HOME ASSESSMENT

The Basic Home Assessment is tailored for scenarios where only 1 or 2 specific areas around the house require evaluation, and the rest of your home is relatively safe. If you can answer “yes” to a few of the following questions, this assessment is ideal for you:

Is this a temporary living situation until the medical condition improves?
Are you moving in an elderly family member temporarily?
Are you worried about a slip or fall and just looking for a few grab bars to be installed?
Are you having a little difficulty getting in or out of the front entrance to your home?
