OT House Calls

 "Fall rates were reduced by 46% among those who received home assessments by occupational therapists"

Center for Disease Control (CDC), 3rd edition of A Compendium of Effective Fall Interventions: What Works for Community-Dwelling Older Adults, 2015.- Pighills et al., 2011.

OT House Calls is unique in that we provide preventative therapy prior to a fall.

We work with our clients to reduce their fall risk.

We look proactively in a client’s home and community to enhance their safety and overall independence.

Providing intervention prior to a fall is essential in maintaining a person’s health and mobility.

Some key areas we assess and provide training in are:

• give home modification tips to help "fall proof" your home
• safe medication management methods
• evaluate footwear and fall risk
• identifying trip hazards inside/ outside home and teach ways to walk more safely
• making stairs safer & teaching safer ways to go up and down steps
• teach ways to challenge balance and maintain strength over time
• proper fitting and assessment of assistive devices that may be needed
