Issues we assess during home visits include:

• Immobility: We evaluation the patient’s daily functional activities such as bathing, dressing, toileting, feeding, continence as well as using the telephone, administering medications, paying bills, shopping for food, preparing meals, doing housework. We then apply corrective interventions where deficiencies are noted.
• Nutrition: We assess the current state of nutrition, eating behaviours, food preferences and the healthy food preparation techniques of the patient.
• Home Environment: We assess the patient’s home environment to ensure it allows for privacy, social interaction, safety, spiritual and emotional comfort.
• Other People: We assess the concerns of the patient’s family members, availability of emergency help, caregiver’s needs and risk of burnout as these are of critical importance.
• Medications: We evaluate the type, amount and frequency of medications, the organization and methods of medication delivery to remedy or avoid polypharmacy.
• Examination: We conduct directed physical examinations based on the needs of the patient. These may include having the patient demonstrate getting on and off the toilet or in and out of the bathtub, self-monitoring of blood glucose levels, weighing the patient and obtaining blood pressure measurement.
• Safety: We conduct home safety assessment to determine whether the patient’s environment is comfortable and safe to prevent unreasonable risk of injury.
• Spiritual Health: Where the home contains religious objects or reading materials, we can assess the influence of spiritual beliefs on the patient’s sense of physical and emotional health.
