Here’s How we Prevent This
Providing home safety assessments is a process where a professional reviews the conditions of the living space and guides clients toward contractors who will incorporate recommended safety-enhancing modifications.
How Does an Assessment Work?
A home safety assessment is a crucial way to identify potential hazards in your home and prevent injuries while helping to promote independence. It’s performed by a licensed healthcare professional, such as an occupational therapist.
The home safety assessment includes home improvement recommendations to help you navigate your environment more securely. The process is quick and easy:
- Our licensed healthcare professional visits the home
- The therapist will assess the client's functional status, the client’s environment, and identify barriers to make appropriate recommendations (e.g. installations of support devices, widen doorways, lighting adjustments, etc.)
- The therapist will then direct the client toward certified contractors to complete the modifications if needed.
