A Home Accessibility and Safety Assessment is a specialized evaluation conducted by an Occupational Therapist to ensure that your home environment supports safe, independent, and comfortable living—especially after an injury, surgery, illness, or as part of aging-in-place planning.
During the assessment, the therapist visits your home to identify potential hazards, barriers, or areas of concern that may increase the risk of falls, injury, or difficulty performing daily tasks. This includes evaluating entrances and exits, bathrooms, kitchens, stairs, flooring, lighting, and overall layout.
Based on the findings, the therapist provides practical recommendations to improve safety and accessibility. These may include grab bar installation, ramp placement, stair modifications, adaptive equipment, or layout changes to better support mobility and independence.
Whether you’re recovering from a motor vehicle accident, dealing with a mobility issue, or planning for long-term safety at home, a Home Accessibility and Safety Assessment helps create a living space that supports your health, independence, and peace of mind.
