Home Environment Assessments

Home environment assessments involve a professional evaluating a household to identify factors that may affect safety, mobility, or overall well-being. They consider elements like lighting, clutter, furniture arrangement, and accessibility to ensure the space supports the resident’s needs. These assessments help highlight potential hazards, improve comfort, and recommend modifications or assistive devices to promote independence and safety. Typically conducted by occupational therapists or home modification specialists, they aim to create a living environment that is safe, functional, and tailored to the occupant’s health and mobility levels.
