In-home physical therapy assessments offer a personalized and convenient way to evaluate a patient’s functional needs in their own environment. A licensed physical therapist visits the patient’s home to assess mobility, strength, balance, posture, and safety within the actual living space. This type of evaluation provides valuable insight into how a person navigates their daily routines, allowing the therapist to identify obstacles, fall risks, and areas for improvement that may not be apparent in a clinic setting.
During the visit, the therapist can recommend home modifications, assistive devices, or tailored exercises to promote safety and independence. Whether recovering from surgery, managing a chronic condition, or aiming to age in place, in-home assessments help ensure patients receive care that’s relevant, realistic, and results-driven. These visits also empower caregivers and family members with education and support, making the home a safer and more supportive place for healing and everyday living.
