Description

 Almost every client you work with who is hospitalized, or is in a residential facility desires the skills that will enable them to return home. Home environmental assessment is a service that can be a crucial component in facilitating that return. Effective home environmental assessments & recommendations can help prevent future hospitalizations and help keep your client safe so that they are more likely to REMAIN HOME.

Occupational therapists tend to be the most diversely skilled members of the rehabilitation team. This program is designed to help the occupational therapist or assistant provide this service to effectively and efficiently facilitate a safe transition to your client's home.

Objectives

  2. Identify primary and secondary safety risks in the home.
