Apex Therapy Services Occupational Therapists are able to assess all areas of a person’s home to identify potential areas of fall risk and provide energy conservation strategies. There are many interventions and adaptive aids that can be used to allow for greater independence and safety when mobilizing in the home, even for accessing different floors of the home.
