THE GOAL OF THE HOME MODIFICATION PROGRAM IS TO ENABLE LOW-INCOME ELDERLY PERSONS TO REMAIN IN THEIR HOMES THROUGH LOW-COST, LOW BARRIER, HIGH IMPACT HOME MODIFICATIONS TO REDUCE OLDER ADULTS’ RISK OF FALLING, IMPROVE GENERAL SAFETY, INCREASE ACCESSIBILITY, AND TO IMPROVE THEIR FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES IN THEIR HOME.

THE OAHMP MODEL PRIMARILY RELIES ON THE EXPERTISE OF A LICENSED OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST (OT) TO ENSURE THAT THE HOME MODIFICATION ADDRESSES THE CLIENT’S SPECIFIC GOALS AND NEEDS AND PROMOTES THEIR FULL PARTICIPATION IN DAILY LIFE ACTIVITIES. THE OT IS TRAINED TO EVALUATE CLIENTS’ FUNCTIONAL ABILITIES AND THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND HAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE RANGE OF LOW-COST, HIGH-IMPACT ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATIONS AND ADAPTIVE EQUIPMENT USED TO OPTIMIZE THE HOME ENVIRONMENT AND INCREASE INDEPENDENCE.
