An occupational in-home assessment is conducted at the claimant’s residence to identify pre-injury activities of daily living, including personal care, housekeeping, home maintenance, transportation and community management. This assessment allows an occupational therapist (OT) to evaluate the claimant’s ability to meet functional requirements and make recommendations related to safety concerns, home layout modifications, assistive devices or external assistance.  Medisys’ OTs have the ability to schedule assessments with minimal notice to accommodate unique requests (i.e. hospital discharges), and for motor vehicle accident (MVA) claimants, they have experience completing the “Attendant Care Form 1.” In unfortunate cases of catastrophic injury, it is not unusual for one of our senior OTs to visit the claimant while ambulating in the hospital.  The OT can be a significant contributor to a successful hospital discharge program.
