Community Occupational Therapy

Community Occupational Therapists support people with temporary but significant levels or enduring loss of physical function in daily living skills.

This could include:

• If you cannot access your home to be independent in essential daily tasks,
• People at the end of life
• People who are living in a temporary community care placement who are returning home
• People with moving and handling difficulties

Our Community Occupational Team take referrals for adults in the above circumstances and also for children who have housing access needs to essential facilities.

Our team may be referred to by a healthcare professional, or you can self-refer by completing a self-assessment questionnaire to check eligibility.

Even if you are not eligible for this service, we will be able to signpost you to local suppliers who may be able to help you.
