- home modifications to allow you to easily enter, exit and move around your home independently and safely
- home automation systems to help you control home functions and features if you have difficulties with mobility and upper limb function
- vehicle modifications to help you get back to full participation in your life and community. We will work with you to determine your home and vehicle modification needs.
Your home modification needs will typically be assessed when you are in hospital, and then reviewed on an ongoing basis as your needs and circumstances change. Vehicle modifications will usually be assessed once you have been cleared for a driving assessment or if you have difficulty travelling in a vehicle as a passenger.
For both home and vehicle modifications an occupational therapist will also work in consultation with you to identify the modifications best suited to your circumstances.
