Home Modifications
With the excitement of a new addition, families can often overlook one very important aspect: the safety of the home. Rest assured, our Home Modifications Occupational Therapist can visit, assess the home for safety, make recommendations, and arrange for our reliable contractors to perform the work requested.
To determine whether home modifications are appropriate, go through the house room by room. Focus on the common areas and where the baby will be sleeping. If anything seems unsafe or inappropriate, call us at 215-637-4824 to schedule an appointment.
