Occupational Therapy

You must have an assessment of needs to determine whether you are eligible for OT Services. To arrange an assessment, please contact your local social care office.

Once an assessment has been completed, the Occupational Therapist will determine which services are appropriate for your situation.

When a major adaptation, such as a stairlift or shower, is recommended and the service user owns their own home, they will be advised to apply to their own District Council for a Disabled Facilities Grant to cover the cost of the work.

If the service user lives in a council or housing association property, usually the landlord will be asked to provide the work.

Minor adaptations, such as grab rails, small ramps and stair rails are arranged by Adult Social Care Services.
