Rise Above Occupational Therapy services include the implementation of functional and accessibility home assessments to increase clients safety and independence within their own home environment.

At Rise Above Occupational Therapy we acknowledge that there is no place like home. We offer occupational therapy home assessments for clients to increase autonomy, engagement, and safety in meaningful activities within their own familiar environment. Occupational therapy home assessments can help identify strategies to increase safety, accessibility, and independence in daily activities to help prevent injuries, falls, and avoidable hospital presentations. Assessment outcomes will help to develop service funding, equipment prescription, and home modification recommendations. An occupational therapy home assessment service can include:

• Assessment of functional capacity within your home environment

• Skills training and occupational performance education

• Falls prevention strategies

• Energy conservation and task simplification education

• Identification of equipment prescription and assistive technology needs

• Home modification recommendations

• Written report summarising environmental recommendations and community service needs

An occupational therapy home assessment may include minor home modification recommendations such as the installation of grab rails. We can help connect you with a private builder for the timely implementation of safety recommendations in accordance to the Australian Building Standards.
