Occupational therapists within Adult Social Care work to help adults with disabilities get the most out of living in their own home. They particularly focus on independence and safety.
They advise on daily tasks such as managing personal hygiene, dressing, eating and drinking and kitchen tasks. They also provide advice on ways of completing daily living activities, equipment and adaptations to your home.
To decide whether or not you are eligible for equipment or adaptations in your home you will need to have an assessment.
Equipment and adaptations can only be provided to those people who are considered to be at substantial or critical risk if their needs are not met.
You will be assisted with obtaining alternative help.
The information contained in this section of the website is also contained in a leaflet, which is available as a downloadable pdf file:

The information is also available in a range of languages and accessible formats (including large print and Braille).
