Expert Assessment for the Right Solution
Choosing the right equipment can be overwhelming, and mistakes can be costly. Unlike equipment manufacturers who may push a specific product, Medella provides completely independent clinical advice.
We support families across Hampshire, Dorset, and Wiltshire, ensuring homes in areas like Ringwood, Bournemouth, and Salisbury are safe and accessible.
"Our recommendations are based solely on what's best for you — not on sales targets or commission. We have no financial ties to equipment suppliers."
Our Assessment Process
Discussion
We discuss your daily routine, the activities that matter most to you, and the specific barriers you're facing — understanding your situation as a whole person, not just a list of difficulties.
Observation
We observe how you manage tasks in your own environment — getting out of a chair, using the stairs, reaching for things. Sometimes a simple change like raising a chair height or repositioning furniture can transform your independence.
Recommendation
We provide a detailed specification for the exact equipment and adaptations you need.
Sourcing Support
We signpost you to trusted local suppliers or council services to obtain the right equipment.
Part of Our Falls Prevention Service
Home adaptations are a key part of our comprehensive falls prevention service. Our OTs look at your home through a clinical lens — identifying how furniture placement, lighting, flooring, and room layout may be creating hidden fall risks — and make practical changes that help you move safely and confidently.

For larger projects, we provide the detailed clinical reports and justifications required for funding applications, such as the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG). Local councils often require a clinical report from an Occupational Therapist to support grant applications.
We're experienced in writing comprehensive assessments that meet council requirements.
