Housing Needs Assessment in Castleton

This is a specialist service offered where your local occupational therapist's training and scope of practice cover housing assessments — check availability for your area on the county page.
Housing stock in and around Castleton varies enormously, so a housing needs assessment always starts with the specific property, not a generic standard. Your local occupational therapist visits the Castleton property in question to assess it properly.

- A full walk-through assessment of the property against the person's needs
- Identifying what could be resolved by adaptation versus what genuinely requires a move
- A clear, professional written report suitable for sharing with a housing provider
- Practical next steps agreed with you before the visit ends
Who this helps
