The Home for Life App was developed by an occupational therapist with 10 years of experience in environmental modifications. This tool, combined with the Home for Life web portal, allows the OT practitioner to take their home modification practice to a new professional level with some of the most effective home modification products and solutions. Using simple data entry, picture and video storage and an easy-to-use home assessment tool, therapists now have the opportunity to show their occupational therapy skills in finding the best person-environment fit for their clients. Throughout the assessment, the therapist captures the client’s safety rating during important activities of daily living, locates physical barriers and presents the best solutions for making the home safer and more livable.
The convenience of storing and using photos paints the picture for third party sources like rehab centers, hospitals, contractors, and family members. Video clips help the therapist to capture how their clients use the space, indicating any safety hazards or helping to point to areas where support devices, like grab bars, should be placed. The Home for Life web portal helps to keep you organized with the ability to create individual client files, store important documents and schedule assessments all with the support of an expert home modification company.
