Our rehabilitation and functional assessments are designed to understand how someone is managing day to day life, not just what their diagnosis says on paper. We focus on real activities and real challenges, looking at how a person moves, thinks, plans, and copes during everyday tasks.

Assessments are carried out in person or virtually. We take time to understand strength, balance, coordination, endurance, fatigue, and cognition, and how these affect things like dressing, bathing, toileting, cooking, moving around the home, getting out and about, or returning to work. Wherever possible, tasks are observed rather than assumed, giving a clear and honest picture of what is working well and what is getting in the way.

We place strong emphasis on a person’s abilities, not just their difficulties. This helps us build practical recommendations that support independence, improve confidence, and reduce risks such as falls or over reliance on others. We also consider the home environment, daily routines, pain levels, energy, and any equipment already in place, because these factors often make the biggest difference in everyday life.

Following the assessment, a clear and easy to understand written report is provided. This includes personalised rehabilitation advice, simple strategies to make tasks easier, recommendations for equipment or adaptations where needed, and guidance for family members, carers, or employers if appropriate. The aim is always to support long term independence, not quick fixes.

This service is suitable for adults recovering from injury or illness, living with long term or neurological conditions, or anyone finding everyday activities harder than they used to. Assessments start from £299, providing clear professional guidance and practical next steps to help daily life feel safer, easier, and more manageable.

Our independent living assessments are designed to support people to live safely, confidently, and as independently as possible within their own home or supported living environment. The focus is on understanding how a person manages their daily routine in their real environment, not how they perform in an artificial or clinical setting.

We assess how individuals manage personal care, domestic tasks, mobility within the home, access in and out of the property, and participation in everyday activities that matter to them. This includes looking at how they move around the home, how safely they complete tasks such as washing, dressing, cooking, and managing medication, and how they cope with fatigue, pain, or reduced confidence.

The assessment also considers environmental factors such as layout, lighting, flooring, furniture, and access points, alongside the person’s physical abilities, cognition, problem solving, and insight into risk. Where appropriate, tasks are observed to accurately identify safety concerns, barriers to independence, and opportunities for simple but effective changes.

Our occupational therapists take a strength based approach, identifying what is working well and building on this, while also addressing areas where support or adaptation is needed. Recommendations are practical and realistic and may include strategies to make daily tasks easier, advice on equipment or minor adaptations, changes to routines, or guidance to reduce risks such as falls, burns, or accidents within the home.

Following the assessment, a clear written report is provided with personalised recommendations to support safe independent living. This may also include advice for family members, carers, or support staff where appropriate. The aim is to promote long term independence, dignity, and confidence, while helping individuals remain in the environment that matters most to them.

This service is suitable for adults living alone, in supported accommodation, or transitioning between levels of care, and for those experiencing changes in health, mobility, or confidence. Assessments start from £299, offering clear professional guidance and practical solutions to support safe and sustainable independent living.

Our home environmental assessments focus on how well a person’s home supports their safety, independence, and daily routines. Rather than simply listing hazards, we look at how someone actually uses their space and how the layout, access, and design of the home affect their ability to live comfortably and confidently.

We assess access into and around the property, including entrances, pathways, steps, stairs, and thresholds, as well as the layout and usability of key living areas such as the bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, and main living spaces. Lighting, flooring, furniture positioning, and storage are also considered, as these often play a significant role in safety and ease of movement.

Our assessments can be conducted in person or virtually, taking into account the individual’s mobility, balance, strength, endurance, and confidence, as well as environmental factors. Where appropriate, everyday tasks are observed to identify risks such as falls, unsafe transfers, difficulty accessing facilities, or over-reliance on others. This allows us to identify practical changes that can make an immediate and meaningful difference.

Following the assessment, we provide clear and realistic recommendations. These may include advice on assistive equipment such as grab rails, shower seating, raised toilet options, or mobility aids, as well as suggestions for minor adaptations, layout changes, or simple environmental adjustments. All recommendations are tailored to the person’s needs, lifestyle, and long-term goals.

A clear written report is provided, suitable for individuals, families, housing teams, landlords, or care providers. The aim is to support safe, sustainable living at home, reduce the risk of accidents or hospital admission, and help people remain independent in the environment that matters most to them.

This service is suitable for adults experiencing changes in mobility or health, those planning ahead to remain at home longer, or individuals moving into a new property or supported living environment. Assessments start at £299 and provide professional insight and practical solutions to improve safety, accessibility, and quality of life at home.

Personalised suggestions for mobility aids, bathroom aids, seating, and kitchen equipment tailored to your needs and lifestyle.

Major and Minor Home Adaptations

Our major and minor adaptation support service focuses on ensuring a person’s home genuinely supports their safety, independence, and long-term needs. Adaptations are not about over-medicalising a home, but about making everyday tasks easier, safer, and more manageable both now and in the future.

We provide either in-person or virtual assessments, professional advice, and recommendations for a wide range of adaptations, from minor changes such as grab rails, stair rails, raised toilet options, and bathing aids to more complex solutions, including stairlifts, ramps, level-access showers, and full bathroom conversions. Each recommendation is based on how the person actually moves, transfers, and manages daily activities within their own home.

Before recommending any adaptation, we carefully consider the individual’s current abilities, prognosis, fatigue levels, balance, and confidence, as well as the layout and structure of the property. We also look ahead, considering likely future needs, to help avoid unnecessary repeat work or inappropriate installations that may quickly become unsuitable.

Following assessment, we provide clear, clinically reasoned recommendations tailored to the individual and the property. Where required, these can support Disabled Facilities Grant applications, housing team decisions, or discussions with landlords, builders, and equipment suppliers. The focus is always on practical solutions that promote independence, dignity, and safety, while reducing the risk of falls, injury, or avoidable hospital admission.

A clear written report outlines recommended adaptations, the clinical reasoning behind them, and the intended functional benefits. This ensures everyone involved understands why changes are needed and how they will improve day-to-day living.

This service is suitable for individuals experiencing changes in mobility or health, those planning ahead to remain in their own home, or families seeking clear professional guidance on the most appropriate adaptations. Our aim is to ensure the home remains a safe, accessible, and supportive environment for both current and future needs.

Our hospital discharge planning service supports safe, timely, and well-coordinated returns home following a hospital admission. The focus is on ensuring the right support, equipment, and environment are in place before discharge to reduce the risk of complications, readmission, or unnecessary delays.

We work with the individual, their family, and relevant professionals to understand current functional abilities, mobility, transfers, and personal care needs following illness, injury, or surgery. This includes considering fatigue, pain, confidence, and any changes in ability that may affect safety at home. Where required, we assess the home environment in advance to ensure it is suitable for discharge.

Our occupational therapists identify and arrange appropriate equipment and adaptations, such as bathing aids, toileting aids, mobility supports, or temporary adaptations, to enable the person to manage safely upon return home. We also provide clear advice on daily routines, energy conservation, and safer ways to manage tasks during the recovery period.

Discharge planning is conducted with a forward-thinking approach, considering not only immediate needs but also short-term recovery and long-term independence. This helps prevent rushed decisions, inappropriate equipment provision, and avoidable readmissions to the hospital.

A clear written plan outlines recommendations, equipment needs, and any ongoing support required. Guidance is also offered to family members or carers to ensure they feel confident supporting the transition home.

This service is suitable for adults being discharged from the hospital following illness, surgery, falls, or injury, particularly where there are concerns about safety, mobility, or coping at home. Our aim is to support a smooth, well-prepared discharge that promotes recovery, independence, and peace of mind for everyone involved.

Our vocational rehabilitation service supports individuals to remain in work, return to work, or transition safely back into employment following illness, injury, or changes in health. It is also designed to work in partnership with employers, providing clear, practical guidance that supports both employee wellbeing and organisational needs.

We carry out detailed vocational assessments either in person or virtually, depending on the individual’s role, location, and stage of recovery. Assessments explore physical capacity, endurance, pain, fatigue, concentration, memory, planning, and emotional wellbeing, alongside the specific demands of the job role. Tasks and responsibilities are broken down to identify realistic adjustments and safe ways of working.

The assessment considers working hours, workload, workplace environment, and how symptoms may fluctuate across the day or week. We take a balanced and solution focused approach, aiming to support productivity while reducing the risk of absence, relapse, or long term work related ill health.

Following the assessment, clear and actionable recommendations are provided. These may include graded return to work plans, reasonable adjustments, task modification, flexible working options, energy management strategies, ergonomic advice, or phased increases in duties. Where appropriate, we can liaise with employers, managers, or occupational health teams to support shared understanding and effective implementation.

A clear written vocational rehabilitation report is provided, outlining functional findings, recommendations, and suggested review points. This gives employers confidence in the plan while ensuring the employee feels supported and understood.

This service is accessible for employers, HR teams and employees who may be struggling at work, returning after sickness absence, or requiring workplace adjustments due to physical, neurological, or mental health conditions. Our vocational rehabilitation assessments support sustainable employment, reduce unnecessary absence, and help employers meet their duty of care while retaining skilled staff.
