Occupational Therapy
What does it do?
The Occupational Therapy service gives advice:
- on alternative ways of managing tasks
- to carers on moving and handling techniques, e.g. to help someone get in or out of bed, then provide written instructions
- about equipment you can buy
- and loan of equipment to help
- on small changes at home such as a grab rail by the toilet or a stair rail
- on adapting your property, e.g. for a level access shower or stair lift
