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 Glossop varies enormously, so a housing needs assessment always starts with the specific property, not a generic standard. Your local occupational therapist visits the Glossop property in question to assess it properly.
What to expect in Glossop
- 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
