NorthCoast Rehab Services have many years of experience in providing: On occasion home / house adaptations may be necessary to improve the home environment to ensure an injured person or persons with disability can remain in their home with some form of independence. A home assessment allows the Occupational Therapist to assess your level of function in your daily tasks – such as cooking, dressing and eating, in your own environment.

Appropriate recomendations and individualised adaptations can be made. Alternative ways of doing these tasks can be discussed and trialled which can improve  your ability to function in safety around the home.

Not all adaptations need to be “major” - minor adaptations such as grab rails, adapted cutlery etc. can make a positive difference.

An activities of daily living (ADL) evaluation is an assessment of an individual's physical and sometimes mental skills. In the area of physical or occupational therapy, it reflects how well a disabled patient or someone recovering from disease or accident can function in daily life. It is also used to determine how well patients relate to and participate in their environment.

NorthCoast Rehab can assess and determine how independent injuried  persons or persons with disabilities. are The assessment can evidence what skills they can accomplish on their own, as well as to gauge how independent each individual can become after intervention by a health professional.

NorthCoast Rehab's goal is to assist their clients to become as independent as possible, using appropriate adaptations if needed.
