Home Safety Evaluation
A home safety evaluation provides a skilled assessment of the home environment to ensure it not only supports the client’s independence, but meets the necessary criteria to decrease risk for falls and maximize safety.
Home Modification Consultation
Unfortunately, many homes are not universally designed for disability or aging in place. Modifying your home can significantly increase your independence, decrease caregiver burden, and allow you to remain in your home as you age. Consultation includes recommendations based on your needs – you may be interested in minor changes to your home or seeking to complete large-scale renovation. Either way, this service is available to fulfill your individual needs.
Adaptive Equipment Consultation
Adaptive equipment, such as wheelchairs, shower chairs, and alerting devices, can maximize function and increase safety within the home without significantly altering the environment. An adaptive equipment consultation is an opportunity to share concerns and receive recommendations and/or resources for obtaining products.
Pre-Construction Consultation
Building your “forever home” can be very stressful but also very exciting! I would love to meet with you to ensure this home is truly an environment that you can thrive in for years to come. Although you may not be interested in incorporating aging in place modifications at this time in your life, I can provide recommendations that ensure when the time comes, your home is adequately designed to support your needs.
Beyond-ADA Commercial Consultation
Accessibility in the community is essential to ensure all members have access to goods and services. Although ADA provides base standards for accessibility, there are aspects of design that can be implemented to go beyond-ADA and show your customers that you care. Commercial consultations can occur pre-construction or within an existing location.
Home Buyer Consultation
Consultation with an occupational therapist prior to purchasing a home provides an opportunity to discuss design features that are a priority in order to meet your needs. This service involves ongoing communication between therapist, client, and realtor as needed throughout the process.
