Home Safety Assessment
Feeling like you are no longer safe in your own home can be very discouraging. A home safety assessment is the most common type of assessment by an Occupational Therapist.
OT4Life will conduct a home safety assessment which can include the following :
- safe entry/exit into the home
- safe walking space in the home (flooring and rugs/furniture)
- stair safety
- assessment of transfers and mobility in every room of the house (including footwear)
- fall prevention
- lighting
- accessibility
- recommendations for home modifications for aging/living in place, including collaborations with designers and renovators/contractors
- OT4Life can provide assessments for the new BC RAHA program (Rebate for Accessible Home Adaptations)
