Home Assessments
Your home, Your needs
Creating safer, more accessible homes that support independence
Across the South-West, our OT Home Assessments we take a comprehensive look at how your home environment supports — or limits — your safety and independence.
​
Our assessments and recommendations are tailored to each person’s needs, goals, and living environment.
What We Assess
​​
During a Home Assessment, we consider:
-
Mobility and access - entryways, steps, pathways, door widths, and room layout
-
Bathroom safety - Showers, toilets, grab rails, non-slip surfaces, and transfers
-
Kitchen access and usability - Bench heights, storage, appliances, and task set-up
-
Bedroom and living areas - Bed transfers, seating, lighting, and circulation space
-
Environmental risks - Trip hazards, lighting, flooring, and general safety concerns

How Home Assessments Help
​​​
By identifying practical barriers within the home, we can recommend tailored strategies, equipment, or modifications that improve safety, confidence and independence.
​​​​An OT home assessment may be beneficial for individuals who:
-
Have difficulty moving safely around their home
-
Are at risk of falls or injury
-
Experience fatigue, pain, or reduced strength impacting daily tasks
-
Are preparing to return home after hospitalisation, rehabilitation, or injury
-
Require environmental adjustments to support disability, chronic conditions, or ageing
-
Want to maintain independence in their own home for as long as possible
