PREPARATION FOR THE IN-HOME ASSESSMENT

The Assessment

Tips for your In-Home Assessment​

1. The volunteer will be assisting the Healthy Aging Association Site Coordinator with the in-home assessment.
2. Primary Task: take any photos needed on the Microsoft Surface tablet.
   • These photos will prove the client is at risk for falling. Utilize the In-Home Environmental Assessment document to determine which pictures to take.

Take pictures that clearly show where fall prevention accessories may be needed.
