Behind every project is a story. This one is about getting a loved one home.
We have had the privilege of working alongside the team at Adaptable Home, a consultancy builder whose mission is simple but powerful: help people who have suffered catastrophic injuries return home safely, with dignity and quality of life.
When someone suddenly relies on a wheelchair, their home often no longer works for them. Bathrooms, hallways, and everyday spaces become barriers. The challenge is figuring out exactly what needs to change so the home supports the patient’s new reality.
That’s where Matterport 3D scanning plays a critical role.
By creating a detailed 3D scan of the home, the entire care team can step inside the space remotely. Occupational therapists can evaluate the layout, measure clearances, and determine what equipment and modifications are truly required. Builders and architects can then use those recommendations to design the right solutions before construction begins.
In one case, the team evaluated a bathroom where a standard shower bench was originally planned. After reviewing the 3D model and testing the clearances virtually, the occupational therapist determined it wouldn’t work safely with the equipment needed. The solution was an upgraded shower system with a slider bench that allowed the patient to transfer safely.
Because the home was documented in 3D, the team could clearly demonstrate why the change was necessary. Everyone involved — therapists, builders, architects, and even insurance adjusters — could see the space exactly as it exists.
No guesswork. No assumptions. Just clear evidence of what the patient needs.
Most importantly, it helps families prepare the home before the patient even returns, reducing stress during an already overwhelming time.
Technology is powerful when it serves people.
Honored to support teams like Adaptable Home who are working every day to help patients return home sooner, live safely, and maintain their independence.
