Home Visits

Occupational Therapy ‘home visit’ assessments are fundamental to person centered care and hospital discharges. They provide the Occupational Therapist with an opportunity to visit patients’ homes and determine the care, equipment and adaptations they need to return home safely. For example they may measure the heights of the toilet, note the types of stairs and steps present consider how this physical environment may affect the patient’s ability to safely carry out everyday tasks. This assessment is then used to plan hospital discharges with patients themselves and other health and social care professionals.
