ADLs Assessments & Reports
Evaluation of Activities of Daily Living with detailed reports to support your care, funding, and therapy goals.
An Activities of Daily Living (ADL) assessment examines how a person manages everyday self-care and household tasks. Our occupational therapists observe and discuss your daily routines to identify strengths, difficulties and the support needed for safe, independent participation.
ADL assessments are often used to inform therapy planning, funding applications, support coordination and care decisions. We prepare clear reports explaining assessment findings and recommendations.
What an ADL assessment covers
- Personal care such as showering, dressing, grooming and toileting
- Meal preparation and eating
- Mobility and transfers around the home
- Household tasks and home maintenance
- Community access and transport-related routines
- Medication and routine management
- The type and level of assistance required
Who may benefit
An ADL assessment may be useful for:
- People whose daily living support needs are changing
- Participants preparing for NDIS planning or review
- Older adults accessing aged care supports
- People recovering from injury, illness or stroke
- Anyone needing clear documentation of daily function and support needs
Reports
Following assessment, we prepare a report detailing observed performance, the assistance required, environmental factors and recommendations. The scope and purpose of the report are agreed before assessment begins.
Funding
ADL assessments may be funded through an NDIS plan, the Support at Home program, or privately. We confirm the scope, costs and funding arrangements before proceeding.
