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 assessment process includes:
- Discussion: We discuss your daily routine, struggles, and goals.
- Observation: We observe how you manage tasks (e.g., getting out of a chair) to pinpoint biomechanical issues.
- Recommendation: We provide a specification for the exact kit you need.
- Sourcing: We signpost you to trusted local suppliers or council services.
Our recommendations are a key part of our falls prevention service. For larger projects, we can also provide the detailed clinical reports and justifications required for funding applications, such as the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know what equipment I need?
This is where our expertise is invaluable. An OT assessment looks at you, your environment, and your goals to recommend a solution that is tailored to your specific needs, ensuring it will be safe and effective.
Can you help with funding for major adaptations?
Yes. For major adaptations, local councils often require a clinical report from an Occupational Therapist to support an application for a Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG). We are experienced in providing these comprehensive assessments and reports.
Do you sell the equipment yourselves?
No, we are an independent assessment service. This ensures our recommendations are completely impartial and based solely on what is best for your needs. We can, however, provide details of trusted local and national suppliers.
