Expert Assessment for the Right Solution

Choosing the right equipment can be overwhelming. Our process begins with a detailed assessment of your functional abilities within your own home. We watch how you manage daily tasks to understand exactly where you need support. This allows us to provide impartial, expert recommendations for the most appropriate solution, preventing costly mistakes on unsuitable equipment.

Our recommendations are a key part of our falls prevention and home safety service. For larger projects, we can 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 for you.

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 can provide these comprehensive assessments and reports.

Do you sell 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.
