An ADL assessment is recommended in several scenarios, particularly when an injury or illness significantly impacts your independence.
For clients undergoing workers comp or CTP claims, the assessment can be crucial in demonstrating your needs and facilitating appropriate support. Common situations include:
- Post-Injury or Illness: When you experience difficulties performing daily tasks after a significant workplace injury or motor vehicle accident.
- Post-Surgery Transition: To ensure your home is equipped for recovery and that you can perform tasks safely post-operation.
- Medico-Legal Cases: To provide an objective evaluation of your functional abilities for legal or insurance purposes.
- Risk Mitigation: When daily activities pose a risk of further injury or aggravation of your condition.
- Transition to Independence: To develop a clear plan for regaining or maintaining self-reliance during your recovery.
If you're facing challenges with tasks like cooking, dressing, or getting around safely, an ADL assessment can help identify the right support and solutions to make your recovery smoother and more manageable.
