OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY IN-HOME ASSESSMENTS

Sometimes simple changes can make a profound difference in how well a senior can manage at home.

As a collaborative venture with Community House Calls, we work with seniors and those caring for them to adapt their home environments and daily routines in ways that will promote independence and maximize personal efficiency and home safety.

Compass Care's Occupational Therapist reviews a typical day in the life of each senior and assesses where and how support is needed. Seniors and their caregivers receive written recommendations on how to preserve energy and simplify tasks by learning to manage daily living routines with the help of:

• Adaptive and assistive equipment
  
  
• Rearranged and/or retrofitted home furnishings
  
  
• Safe and efficient body mechanic techniques
  
  
• Reorganization of commonly used items for easy access
  
  
• Utilization of simple and personally tailored reminders for daily tasks

Compass Care's In-Home Assessment focuses primarily on the personal aspects of a senior's daily life, while Community House Calls' Home Analysis and Safety Evaluation assesses the structural living environment for adaptations that can help seniors to continue living at home safely.
