Occupational Therapy assessments

If you need help from the Occupational Therapy Service, please contact adult social care for an assessment.

We will contact you by letter if the wait for your assessment is going to be longer than six weeks. The letter will give an update on the estimated wait time for your assessment and give you information and support.

The assessment can be over the phone, or we can arrange to meet you at home. A member of the team will talk to you about how you manage everyday tasks around your home. We will work with you to find out what matters to you and help you to achieve this.

If English is not your first language, we can arrange for an interpreter to be there at the visit. 

After your assessment we’ll send you a written summary.

If we can't support you to adapt your home, we can offer you advice on moving to another property. We can also refer you to other services that may be able to support you.
