In addition to life care plans, Lighthouse Health Group also provides standalone:

• Occupational Therapy Reports
• Physiotherapy Medico-Legal Reports
• Nursing Services and Equipment Reports.

We have direct access to a large range of highly qualified Clinical Nurse Consultants and Allied Health Professionals who are all experienced and readily available to comprehensively assess clients and report on their current and future treatment, nursing care, equipment, housing, and rehabilitation needs.

Our Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, and Clinical Nurses work together to capture each client’s total care needs in a holistic prescription.

They each have developed an exceptional understanding of the complex medical needs of a person living with a disability in a community setting and are able to accurately assess the future impact that complications of disability may have on any of the issues covered by our reports.

We specialise in the following areas of general rehabilitation:

• Paediatrics
• Spinal Cord Injury, including those who are ventilated
• Traumatic and Acquired Brain Injury
• Cerebral Palsy
• Congenital Disorders and Wrongful Birth
• Trauma and Multiple Orthopaedic Injury
• Wounds and Burns
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (e.g. First Responders)
• Surgical Misadventure (such as recent gynaecological claims and spinal surgery)

Occupational Therapy reports

An Occupational Therapy (OT) report plays a crucial role in assessing and detailing a person’s functional abilities, limitations, and future care needs. It is often a core component of a multidisciplinary life care plan, especially in complex injury or disability cases. The report includes:

• Functional Assessment
• Equipment and Assistive Technology
• Environmental and Home Assessment
• Rehabilitation and Therapy Needs
• Care Needs and Support, Education, and Integration
• Risk Management and Safety
• Prognosis and future planning

The OT report also forms a foundation for accurate costing, helping to determine the frequency, duration, and type of services and supports needed.

Physiotherapist report

A physiotherapist report usually complements an Occupational Therapy assessment by focusing on the client’s physical function, mobility, rehabilitation potential, and long-term musculoskeletal and neurological care needs.

It’s essential for accurately capturing the physical rehabilitation and mobility-related costs.

Nursing Services and Equipment Reports

Based on our close involvement with leading law firms, insurance providers, and financial planners, we have identified the need for the production of comprehensive Personal Care, Equipment, and Nursing Services Reports to accurately identify and provide true costs for nursing care requirements and specialised medical equipment for people who will have complex medical needs over their lifetime.
