Home Safety & Falls Risk Assessment
As Occupational Therapist we are experts at assessing your home and community environment to ensure that you can be as safe and independent as possible. We can assist you in making your home and community safe and suitable for your needs. We specialise in assisting you with minor adaptations such as grab rails, stair rails and step alterations. We can also discuss temporary solutions for rehabilitation periods. Wheelchair and major accessibility options can also be arranged.
Falls can have a big impact on your health and well-being. We will work with you to identify your risk and put into place a strategy to improve your safety. This may include
Removing loose mats
Installing rails by steps or the shower
Recommending safer footwear
Clearing up clutter so you can move safely around your home
Reorganising cupboards so that you can reach things you require
