Local community visits
Why assess everyday function in the real environment?
A Doreen appointment can allow the Occupational Therapist to understand the person's actual home setup, daily routines and community environment rather than relying only on a clinic-based description. This can be useful for functional assessment, equipment, home access and practical capacity-building recommendations.
The scope of any assessment is agreed before the service begins. Recommendations depend on the person's goals, functional presentation, available evidence and the specific referral question.
