At our clinic, we understand that comfort, convenience, and accessibility are crucial when it comes to prosthetic care. Whether someone is newly adapting to a prosthetic device or has been wearing one for years, the fitting and adjustment process can be physically and emotionally demanding. That’s why we’re proud to offer at-home visits for prosthetic fittings and adjustments, bringing personalized care directly to your doorstep.
In this blog, we’ll explain why in-home prosthetic services matter, who they’re ideal for, how the process works, and what to expect from our team during a home visit.
Why At-Home Prosthetic Services Matter
For many people, visiting a clinic is not always convenient—or even possible. Those who are recovering from surgery, managing mobility limitations, or simply prefer the comfort of home may find it difficult to attend regular appointments.
In-home prosthetic care offers a solution that removes these barriers and ensures individuals receive the same high-quality care as they would in a clinical setting. With at-home visits, our patients gain:
- Greater comfort and privacy
- Reduced travel stress and time
- Personalized attention in their own environment
- Enhanced support from caregivers or family present during the session
We’ve seen firsthand how in-home care can improve a patient’s confidence, reduce anxiety, and result in better-fitting prosthetics—because fittings and adjustments are often more successful when they take place in the setting where the patient spends most of their time.
Who Can Benefit from In-Home Prosthetic Services?
Our at-home prosthetic fittings and adjustments are ideal for a wide range of clients, including:
- Individuals with limited mobility due to age, injury, or disability
- Recent amputees in the recovery phase who are not yet ready to travel
- Elderly clients who prefer not to leave home for medical services
- Busy professionals or parents seeking greater scheduling flexibility
- People living in rural or underserved areas without easy access to a clinic
Whether you’re receiving a prosthetic for the first time or need modifications to an existing one, our mobile service ensures that high-quality prosthetic care is never out of reach.
What Services Are Offered During a Home Visit?
We bring a full suite of services to your home, offering everything from evaluations to advanced adjustments. Here’s what we typically include:
- Initial Assessment:
If this is your first visit with us, we begin with a thorough assessment of your residual limb, lifestyle needs, and goals. We also review any current prosthetics and identify challenges you might be experiencing. - Fitting and Refitting:
Using mobile scanning equipment or physical molds, we ensure your prosthetic is perfectly fitted to your limb. If you’re trying on a newly fabricated device, we’ll check for alignment, pressure points, and comfort. - On-the-Spot Adjustments:
Our clinicians carry essential tools and materials to make minor adjustments immediately. This may include softening edges, tightening or loosening fit, improving suspension, or optimizing functionality. - Skin and Socket Care Guidance:
We’ll provide care tips for your residual limb, review hygiene practices, and check for irritation or pressure sores. - Training and Use:
We take the time to guide you through proper usage, daily routines, and exercises to improve control and mobility. Whether you’re learning how to grip objects or adjust posture with a new limb, we’re there every step of the way. - Follow-Up Scheduling:
If further refinement is needed, we’ll schedule a return visit. We also offer virtual check-ins when appropriate.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Before your home visit, our team will coordinate with you to understand your needs and prepare for your appointment. Here’s how the process typically unfolds:
- Scheduling: You can call or book online, and our staff will work with your availability.
- Preparation: We’ll provide a short checklist to help you prepare a clean, well-lit space for the visit.
- Arrival: Our certified prosthetist will arrive with the necessary tools, equipment, and protective supplies.
- Consultation and Service: We take our time to listen, measure, adjust, and educate—all in a friendly, respectful manner.
- Documentation: After the visit, you’ll receive a summary of what was done and recommendations for next steps.
How We Maintain Quality and Safety
All of our clinicians are trained, licensed professionals who bring the same standards of care to your home as we do in the clinic. We maintain strict cleanliness protocols and ensure all equipment is sanitized before and after each visit.
During every home visit, we prioritize your safety, privacy, and comfort. We also welcome the involvement of caregivers, spouses, or other family members, especially when additional support or communication is helpful.
