ADL Assessments
Activities of Daily living Assessments (ADL Assessment)
Where an individual’s capacity for employment has been significantly impacted by their injury/illness there is likely to have been a corresponding impact upon their capacity for domestic, recreational and community-based activities. An ADL or household assessment is conducted to identify the specific problems and prescribe alternative equipment or recommend appropriate levels of household services.
ADL Assessment and services can include:
Household help & Gardening Review and Strategies
training in body mechanics
service recommendations
gardening equipment
adapted cleaning equipment
equipment needs
mobility aids
bathroom seating
recliner chairs
bedding review
Home modification needs
transport assessments
car modifications
taxi request
The recommendations are discussed with the treating doctor and the assessment is submitted to the insurer for their consideration.
There are no out-of-pocket expenses as this assessment is in accord with their existing policies of the TAC and Worksafe.
Therefore, if you are aware of your client’s experiencing difficulties at home due to their compensatable injuries refer them to Surfcoast Occupational Therapy.
Self Referrals
Worksafe Claimants
Currently Worksafe claimants require a referral from their treating Doctor to obtain Occupational therapy services.
Therefore, make an appointment with your Doctor to discuss your problems your experiencing at home and direct them to our on-line referral form. We will then contact your claims officer and call you back to make the appointment.
TAC Claimants
TAC claimants do not require a referral from a Doctor and therefore can fill out the Self-referral form below.
