Leap Independent Health Therapy Services Ltd.
 Home Assessments
An individual's environment can have a huge impact on their ability to manage activities independently.
Leap Therapies can assess someone's home, workplace, school or college and make recommendations for adaptations that will assist, providing advice on the best funding sources for the work.
A thorough assessment of the individual in their environment and a problem solving approach are used to identify ways to optimise a person's functional abilities at home, at work and during leisure time. The Occupational therapist can recommend suitable equipment or adaptations and provide information on sourcing these as required.
Benefits of an Occupational Therapy Assessment
A home assessment allows the therapist to assess your level of function in your daily tasks - such as cooking, dressing and eating in your own environment.
- Appropriate individualised adaptations can be made
- Alternative ways of doing these tasks can be discussed and trialed.
- Help to improve your ability to function in safety around the home.
- Not all adaptations need to be "major" - minor adaptations such as grab rails, adapted cutlery etc. can make a positive difference.
