In-Home Assessment (Housekeeping/Care Giving/Dependent Care)

The In-Home assessment is done to evaluate if the person injured in a motor vehicle accident has difficulty with the daily housekeeping activities, and to determine if any special devices are needed to assist the person in returning to pre-accident status. Time is spent reviewing proper body mechanics, discussing pacing and energy conservation strategy and reviewing back and neck sparing techniques being used currently by the injured person. This assessment will also explore the possible need for attendant care and care giving/ dependent care assistance.
