Why home visits matter
Better recommendations start in the real environment.
A clinic cannot always show how someone manages their bathroom, bedroom, access points, flooring, furniture or support setup.
A home visit helps our occupational therapists provide recommendations that are realistic, safe and easier for clients, families and providers to put into practice.
