HCPC Registered Occupational Therapist

Our Clinical Assessment Process

We look beyond the physical layout of your house. Our assessments analyse how you interact with your environment, identifying specific barriers to independence and creating customised safety pathways.

Phase 01

Clinical Interview

We begin with a deep, personal consultation to understand your physical needs, daily routines, medical history, and future goals. We listen closely to your family, case managers, or caregivers to ensure a holistic understanding.

Phase 02

On-Site Evaluation

Our HCPC-registered Occupational Therapist conducts a comprehensive physical walk-through of your home. We evaluate stairways, bathrooms, kitchen layouts, lighting, flooring transitions, and external access routes.

Phase 03

Clinical Report

The assessment provides written recommendations for the home, equipment or adaptation options discussed. These can help you consider the next steps with relevant professionals or your local authority.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an OT home assessment and do I need one for a DFG?
