Home Assessments
In Newcastle, the Hunter Valley, and Port Stephens, Oak & Edge specialises in thorough home assessments, collaboratively conducted with your Occupational Therapists to ensure every detail is considered. During this essential walk-through, we meticulously identify potential challenges to modifications in key areas of your home, such as bathrooms and kitchens.
Furthermore, our approach is to work hand-in-hand with your OTs and support services. By understanding your unique goals, functional needs, and specific challenges, we’re able to craft bespoke home modification solutions that align perfectly with your requirements. Therefore, our commitment is not just to modify your living space but to enhance it in a way that truly reflects and supports your lifestyle.
