Need a clear understanding of your clients’ abilities and limitations?

For NDIS participants, having a comprehensive understanding of their functional abilities and limitations is essential for creating effective and personalized care plans. Functional capacity assessments (FCAs) are key to gaining these insights, helping to ensure that each client receives the support they need. At Optimum Healthcare, we specialize in providing thorough FCAs that guide tailored care and support.

Functional capacity assessments provide valuable insights into your clients’ capabilities, helping to tailor their care plans effectively. Optimum Healthcare offers comprehensive assessments.
These assessments are crucial in identifying the specific needs of NDIS participants, allowing care managers and support coordinators to allocate resources effectively and advocate for the necessary funding.

Here’s how our Functional Capacity Assessments can help:

  • Evaluate physical and functional abilities: Without a detailed understanding of a client’s current abilities, it’s difficult to develop a care plan that meets their needs.  Our FCAs provide a thorough evaluation of a client’s physical and functional abilities, including their strength, mobility, balance, and daily living skills. This evaluation helps us identify the client’s current capabilities and areas that may require additional support.
  • Identify areas needing improvement or support: Clients may have unmet needs that are not immediately obvious, leading to gaps in care and support.  Through detailed assessment, we identify areas where the client may need additional support or intervention. Whether it’s recommending assistive devices, therapy services, or environmental modifications, we ensure that all aspects of the client’s needs are addressed.
  • Develop personalized care plans based on assessment results: Generic care plans may not fully address a client’s unique challenges and goals, leading to less effective care.  However, based on the results of the FCA, we develop personalized care plans that are tailored to the client’s specific needs. These plans are designed to enhance the client’s independence, quality of life, and overall well-being, ensuring that they receive the most appropriate care.
  • Advocate for funding by providing strong clinical justification: Securing adequate funding for necessary services can be challenging without detailed clinical evidence.  We provide strong clinical justification for the services and support the client requires, helping to advocate for the necessary funding. Our detailed reports and assessments are designed to meet NDIS criteria, making it easier to secure the resources needed to implement the recommended care plan.
