WHAT IS A HOME ASSESSMENT
A complete evaluation of you and your home.
ASSESSMENT
We use the Home Assessment developed by Extended Home Living Services and EHLS.
In 2002, 2 Business Innovation Grants from the National Institute on Aging to develop the Comprehensive Assessment and Solution Process For Aging Residents (CASPAR).
Broken down into 6 sections designed to identify a client’s aging-in-place needs by collecting information that can be used by building professionals and occupational therapists to specify the right modifications.
This assessment considers the home environment, the resident's abilities and preferences, and the interaction between the two, combining the specific concerns of consumers, building professionals, and occupational therapists in performing home modification assessments.
