Care Home OT Visits
Occupational therapy visits for care home and assisted-living residents, covering equipment, seating, daily routines and family liaison.
What it is
This service brings occupational therapy assessment and support directly into care homes and assisted-living settings — reviewing seating, equipment, daily routines and how a resident manages the activities that matter to them. It works alongside existing care staff rather than in place of them, and can support both individual residents and wider home-level equipment reviews.
Who it helps
- Care home residents whose needs, seating or equipment have changed
- Families wanting an independent view on a relative's equipment or routine
- Care home managers needing an OT assessment to support a resident's care plan
- Residents recovering from a hospital stay, fall or change in mobility
What a home visit involves
- Liaison with care home staff and, where appropriate, family members
- Assessment of seating, positioning, equipment and daily routines
- Practical recommendations that fit realistically within the care setting
- A written summary that can feed into the resident's care plan
What this can achieve
- Equipment and seating that genuinely fits the resident
- Reduced risk of pressure damage, falls or discomfort
- A resident better able to take part in the daily activities that matter to them
- Clear recommendations care staff and family can act on together
