How OT helps
What an OT looks at with equipment assessment
Start with what is hard day to day, then build practical strategies around it.
The task that is hard
Getting up, walking, showering, toileting, sitting or moving around the house — and what is making that task difficult or unsteady.
What equipment might help
Walkers, falls alarms, shower chairs, over-toilet frames, pressure care, a recliner, a bed or a mobility scooter — considered only after an assessment.
Whether a trial makes sense
Where a trial is available, whether the equipment suits the home, and what a prescription or report would need to cover.
Equipment is considered after the assessment, and the team confirms whether this service fits before anything is booked.
