Community Occupational Therapy can support you if you are having difficulty managing everyday activities at home because of an illness, disability, injury or change in your physical abilities.
An Occupational Therapist can assess your needs and provide practical advice to help you remain safe, independent and confident in your own home. This may include advice about managing everyday activities, equipment, adaptations to your home or strategies to make tasks easier and safer.
If you think you would benefit from Community Occupational Therapy, you can speak to your GP, healthcare professional or other member of your care team about a referral.
