Providing home-modification services in Washington state

When a worker’s residence needs to be structurally changed to meet their needs following a catastrophic injury, home-modification consultants and contractors play a role, along with the worker and their health-care provider.

• Be a licensed nurse, occupational therapist, or physical therapist, and
• Have training or experience in both rehabilitation of catastrophic injuries and modifying homes.

Requirements for contractors
