Description

Our Needs Assessment Service staff assess the needs of people who struggle with daily activities because of a health condition or disability.

We help people identify their individual challenges, goals, and steps needed to achieve these goals.

How do I access this service?

Referral Expectations

We ask lots of questions to find out how our clients are coping physically and emotionally, and to assess how active they are outside of their home.

Assessments can take between 1-2 hours and staff may enter responses directly into a computer.
