Dear Occupational Therapist,

I am referring Mrs. Linda Brown, a 68-year-old patient who underwent a right hip replacement two weeks ago, for a home assessment and occupational therapy support.

Mrs. Brown can walk with a frame but still requires assistance with bathing and dressing. She has expressed difficulty accessing her bathroom and is at significant risk of falls in her home environment.

I would appreciate your assessment of her living conditions and recommendations for necessary modifications, such as grab rails, raised toilet seats, or other adaptive aids. Strategies to improve her independence in activities of daily living would also be valuable. I appreciate your support in ensuring Mrs. Brown’s safe return to independent living.

Yours sincerely,

Occupational Therapist
