My dad’s balance has gotten worse since his Parkinson’s progressed, and we’re scared he might fall again. He won’t go to clinics anymore because of anxiety, but I remember someone here got a home assessment and therapy plan. Did that actually help reduce risks? We want to make sure his home is safe without turning it into a hospital.

In my experience, the key is how personal home OT is. My cousin had MS, and nothing worked until the OT saw how she moved around her flat. That’s when they gave realistic advice—not just checklists but things that made sense in her home. Honestly, it was the first time she felt like someone understood what she actually needed.
Yes, we had something similar. The mobile occupational therapist gold coast came and assessed every corner of my nan’s unit—hallways, bathroom, even the way she got in and out of bed. They suggested simple mods like grab rails and showed her safer movement patterns. Her confidence grew heaps. It wasn’t invasive at all—just really thoughtful help tailored to her needs.
