Aging in place is here to stay. Healthcare is rapidly shifting to a home & value-based model, so patients are being sent home with significantly higher levels of impairment and illness than ever before.
Therapists must be prepared to make home modification recommendations to prevent rehospitalizations and adverse eventsbeyond just the “bandaid” of a grab bar. But large-scale renovations can seem daunting and intimidating…
That’s why I put together this course – to be your GO-TO guide for understanding your role as a rehab clinician in home safety assessments and modifications. Learn how you can:
This is your opportunity to get ahead of the curve! This rapidly growing market desperately needs more trained clinicians. You have a unique skill set that allows you to anticipate future needs and finally make long lasting independence a possibility! Expand your opportunities to work outside the traditional medical model with this sought-after skill set that will boost your referrals and add a cash-based revenue stream to your practice.
