Preventative Adaptations (Occupational Therapy Team)

How do I get help and support with adapting my home?

Our Occupational Therapy Team

Sometimes, the things we take for granted in daily life such as getting in and out of the bath, on/off the toilet or armchairs can become difficult. We will arrange a telephone discussion often followed by a visit in your home to see what we can do to help promote your safety and independence.

How can the Occupational Therapy Team benefit you?

We will work with you to help you find different ways of carrying out everyday tasks such as preparing a meal or drink, getting dressed and personal care and getting in, out and around your home. This may include:

• Providing specialist equipment to aid your daily living
• Providing minor adaptations such as grab rails
• Arranging major adaptations such as ramps or stair lifts
• Working with your carer to offer them advice in the best way to support you
• With your consent we can signpost you to relevant services who may be able to help

Who is eligible?

• Residents who live in the Nottingham City area
• Residents who have significant difficulties in their daily life and want to be more independent
• Carer/s for a disabled person/s and who are experiencing difficulties

If you are not sure if you are eligible for help, please do contact us to discuss what you need.
