Can a capacity assessor conduct an assessment at someone's home if they're unable to travel in Ontario?

Yes, generally. Capacity assessors regularly conduct assessments in a person's home, a hospital, a long-term care home, or wherever the person is actually located, rather than requiring them to travel to an office, since many people facing a capacity assessment have mobility, health, or transportation limitations that make travel impractical or unsafe. Arranging a home or facility visit is a normal part of how this kind of assessment is delivered in Ontario.

When arranging a capacity assessment for a family member who can't easily travel, it's worth asking a prospective assessor directly whether they offer home or facility visits, since not every assessor may offer this option or may charge differently for it, given that individual assessors set their own fees for this specialized work. It's also worth confirming what the assessor needs in terms of a suitable, private space to conduct the assessment properly, since the setting can affect how comfortable and accurate the process is for the person being assessed. A lawyer helping arrange the process can assist in finding an appropriately qualified assessor who can accommodate these practical needs.
