Feedback:
Clients and their families are vital members of the healthcare team. A home assessment evaluates the home environment and helps determine the appropriateness and possibility of considering home-based rehabilitation. The family will need a safe environment, available caregivers, and financial resources to make adaptations to the home that may be needed. Proximity to a medical center, adequate insurance, and community support are important, but are not the priority considerations when choosing home rehabilitation.
