If your loved one is starting to need more help at home but you aren't sure where to start with helping them, or that the waiting list is too long with your local authority, then a bespoke consultation over a video call can help. Getting help and advice now from an Occupational Therapist could help to prevent more serious difficulties in the future and keep your loved one in their own home for longer.
During the call, one of our Occupational Therapists will work with you to assess the home environment. They'll produce a report offering advice and guidance to help make day-to-day life easier and enable a greater degree of independence. This report can be used in the wider system and form part of their ongoing healthcare plan.
A Home Living Consultation will cost £79 including VAT (if you are eligible for VAT relief, this can be applied at the checkout). Simply click the button below to purchase.
