In-Home Safety Check in Lawrence, IN
An in-home safety check in Lawrence, IN puts one licensed occupational therapist to work for your family, whether you’re caring for a senior, supporting a spouse as their caregiver, or raising a child with a disability. I serve Lawrence and the surrounding northeast side of Indianapolis in Marion County.
Mid-Century Homes on the Northeast Side
Lawrence grew up around Fort Benjamin Harrison, and many neighborhoods feature mid-century ranch homes and split-levels. Ranches are often a great fit for aging in place, but they usually come with a step or two at every entry, compact hall bathrooms, and tub-shower combinations that become harder to manage over time.
Support for Spouse Caregivers
In many Lawrence households, one spouse has become the caregiver for the other. That’s demanding work, and the home can either help or hurt. I evaluate how care happens, from bathing assistance to helping a partner up from a chair, and recommend changes that protect the caregiver’s health, too.
Disability Home Modifications in Lawrence
For Lawrence families of children and adults with physical, developmental, or behavioral disabilities, I assess accessibility and safety and can guide waiver families through the process. You’ll receive a plan that reflects your loved one’s needs, not a template.
Lawrence In-Home Safety Check FAQs
Is a ranch home already safe for aging in place?
It’s a strong starting point, but not automatically safe. Entry steps, bathroom layout, lighting, and flooring transitions still need attention. A safety check identifies the specific changes that make a single-level home work long-term.
I’m caring for my husband. Can you help me avoid getting hurt?
Yes. Caregiver safety is part of every assessment. I’ll look at how you help your husband with daily tasks and recommend modifications and techniques that reduce strain on your back and shoulders.
Do you serve Lawrence residents on Medicaid waivers?
Yes. I’ve provided Indiana Medicaid HCBS waiver assessments since 2023 and welcome referrals from Lawrence-area case managers.
