Home Assessment

The Arthritis Foundation, Central Ohio Chapter, provides the expertise of occupational therapists to help individuals maintain their safety and ability to complete activities of daily living. Occupational therapists, upon request, visit the homes of Central Ohio residents with arthritis. This service is FREE.

During the visit the occupational therapist will:

• assess the ability to cook, bathe and dress
• identify any physical barriers in the home
• recommend adjustments and modifications in the home
• teach the resident to use self-help devices
• teach the resident to protect his or her joints and conserve energy.
