Local community visits
Why assess everyday function in the real environment?
For Mernda referrals, community-based assessment can be particularly useful when the question involves daily routines, home access, equipment, independence, safety or support needs. Being close to AnnOT's service base also makes Mernda a practical location for community visits where the requested service is clinically suitable.
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.
