Ella is a 90 y/o who identifies as female. She recently fell and sustained a R femur fracture. At the start of the evaluation, the OT interviews Ella to obtain an occupational profile.

She also mentions that she lives in a single-story ranch home with one step down into the garage, which she has trouble navigating. She has started using a four-wheeled walker for all mobility. Living alone, having family and friends visit at least weekly, using a four-wheeled walker, and having one step to get into her garage are examples of what section on the Occupational Profile?
