Our Assessment Process
Initial Documentation Review
Before the home visit, our therapists
review relevant medical records,
treating reports, and case materials
to establish a comprehensive
clinical understanding.
Comprehensive Home Visit
Assessments typically require 2-3 hours,
We use this time to get to know the person
we are seeing and understand how the injury or
diagnosis affects everyday life. We review the
home environment and functional abilities, and,
where appropriate, observe tasks to document
capacity and safety.
Evidence-Based Analysis
Our therapists apply clinical
expertise and current rehabilitation
guidelines to determine reasonable care
requirements, addressing past,
present, and future needs.
Peer Review & Quality Assurance
Every report undergoes a rigorous
internal review process, ensuring
consistency, accuracy, and adherence
to professional standards.
