Home Assessments and Home Modifications
We analyse our participant’s home environment and provide comprehensive assessments and recommendations to maximise their independence and safety. Home alterations can be considered as any modifications (large or small) to the household environment that allow our clients to increase their capacity to achieve their activities of daily living. We work in conjunction with our clients to identify solutions, source funding and work collaboratively with tradespeople to implement the desired outcome.
