    Home modifications aim to enhance safety and occupational performance in the home. However, given the complexity and unique meaning of the home, they can impact aspects other than function. This qualitative descriptive study aimed to explore the impact of home modifications on clients and their family's experience of home. The study found that home modifications impacted positively and negatively on five dimensions of the home environment, the personal, occupational, physical, temporal and social dimension. The outcomes of the modifications and the home modification process were influenced by three themes, workmanship, consultation or involvement in decision-making, and the societal dimension of the home environment. Conclusions: The negative outcomes and poor consultation experiences suggest the need for occupational therapists to understand their client's personal experience of home and to comprehensively follow-up and evaluate these following home modifications.

The article is a systematic review which provides the reader with insight into the different types of environmental modifications commonly utilized by occupational therapy practitioners as well as their effectiveness. This particular article is certainly a good read for those of us who are currently completing our level II fieldwork in a SNF, as Alzheimer's disease and related dementias are very common in such settings.

    This systematic review examined the evidence for interventions designed to modify the activity demands for self care and leisure for those with AD and other types of dementia. The review detailed four major points: treatment should match the person's current level of function, not attempt to make gains; cues, which are short and clear, are important in modifying activity demands; environmental modifications and simple AE should be individualized to meet the person's needs; caregiver training and involvement are vital.
