ADL Assessment for Independence in Sydney and Canberra
ADL Assessment for Independence in Sydney and Canberra
Why an ADL Assessment for Independence Matters
Our ADL Assessment in Sydney and Canberra offers a complete evaluation of how well you handle everyday tasks. This assessment covers personal care activities, such as bathing and dressing, along with domestic chores like cooking and cleaning. By pinpointing your strengths and challenges, we can clearly identify where you need support to maintain or boost your independence.
How Occupational Therapists Boost Your ADL Assessment
Occupational Therapists (OTs) are integral to our ADL Assessment for Independence. Here’s how they enhance the process:
- Task Performance Evaluation and Modification: OTs analyse whether tasks can be adapted to better fit your needs. They provide recommendations for task modification education, helping you manage everyday activities more easily and effectively.
- Equipment Recommendations: To support your independence, OTs suggest the most appropriate assistive devices. They guide you in choosing between short-term hire or purchase and provide advice on how long you’ll need the equipment.
- Care Assistance Assessment: If you need temporary care assistance—such as after surgery or during recovery—OTs recommend suitable support services. This may include domestic help, attendant care, gardening support, or home maintenance to ensure you receive the necessary assistance.
- Prioritising Independence: Our recommendations are designed to maximise your independence. We suggest equipment and modifications only when absolutely necessary, focusing on solutions that enhance your self-reliance and overall quality of life.
