Subphase 8 of home modification process protocol.

Evaluation phase	Subphase 8
Description	Conduct site visit to check the operation and maintenance of the occupation-focused home modification
Key questions	Is the home modification operating in the way it is intended to?
	Does the home modification perform in the way that achieves the goals and requirements identified in subphase 3?
	What can we learn from the process?
Actions	Provide reablement, rehabilitation, and/or training to enable the use of the modification
	Conduct reevaluation following completion of the home modification and compare with subphase 2
	Provide training on the maintenance of the home modification
	Complete professional evaluation of the intervention and what can be learned
Outcomes	Complete and document the reablement, rehabilitation, and/or training provided
	Person(s) provided with information and documentation needed to manage the home modification
	Person(s) satisfied with the performance of the modification. Feedback documented
	Occupational therapist satisfied with the performance of the modification completed. Outcome documented
