As part of a housing and environmental assessment, I can:

• Complete an initial consultation to establish the person's needs and determine whether an Occupational Therapy housing assessment is appropriate.

• Complete a comprehensive functional and environmental assessment within the home.

• Assess the suitability of proposed adaptations, taking account of mobility, transfers, balance, cognition, fatigue and ability to complete everyday activities.

• Assess suitability for stairlifts and other access solutions, considering both physical and cognitive ability to use the equipment safely.

• Assess the clinical and functional need for ground-floor adaptations, including accessible toilet, showering and bedroom facilities where appropriate.

• Provide Occupational Therapy reports and recommendations to support Housing Adaptation Grant applications, where the proposed adaptation is clinically indicated.

• Provide recommendations regarding accessible entrances, bathrooms, internal circulation, wheelchair accessibility, grab rails and other environmental modifications.

• Liaise, where appropriate, with clients, families, contractors, architects and other professionals to support the translation of Occupational Therapy recommendations into practical adaptations.

• Provide accessibility recommendations for new-build or proposed home designs, informed by the individual's current and anticipated functional needs.
