We provide comprehensive home assessments with a focus on safety and optimising independence. Changes to you everyday mobility or health can affect many daily living activities eg. getting in and out of a chair or the shower or bed. Reduced mobility may also lead to difficulties accessing the community for appointments, shopping and social activities and can increase your risk of falling.
​
We can assess your performance of daily activities and make recommendations to make your life easier and safer. The recommendations are centred around you and your carer's goals as well as your individual circumstances. Professional OT reports can be provided to you or your case manager to support funding applications under the Home Care Package Guidelines.

This can often save you the frustration and cost of purchasing unsuitable or unsafe equipment.
