Our Collaborative Approach in Care Homes
Our Occupational Therapists (OTs) work as an integral part of your team. We conduct individual assessments to understand each resident’s unique needs, abilities, and personal goals. From there, we develop tailored intervention plans which might focus on improving daily living skills, recommending specialist equipment, or adapting their environment to promote independence.
A key part of our service includes providing expert advice and training for care staff on topics such as safe moving and handling. This collaborative approach ensures residents receive consistent, high-quality support from our specialist OT team, enhancing their overall wellbeing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between OT and Physio in a care home?
While there is overlap, Physiotherapy often focuses on restoring movement and strength (the ‘mechanics’ of the body). Occupational Therapy focuses on enabling a person to perform meaningful daily activities (‘occupations’), often by adapting the task or the environment.
Can you provide assessments for specialist seating?
Yes. A core part of our service is conducting detailed wheelchair and seating assessments to ensure residents are comfortable, well-supported, and at minimal risk of developing pressure sores.
How do you work with residents who have dementia?
Our OTs use simplified communication, task breakdown, and sensory strategies to engage residents with cognitive impairments. We focus on establishing routines and adapting the environment to reduce confusion and support participation in daily life.
