Equipment & Adaptations
It is easy these days with internet searching and online sales to buy equipment and arrange adaptations to help people manage everyday tasks with more ease.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Finding an individual solution to compensate for the loss of function is essential to maintain independence
At Wharfedale Occupational Therapy we determine through functional assessment if equipment and /or adaptations would be a suitable solution, and through environmental assessment if it is suitable for the environment.
We can direct you to purchase the correct equipment or we can arrange the purchase for you. We can advise you which adaptations would increase your independence, or help your carers assist you. We can signpost you to local suppliers and / or builders, we can work with your chosen builders to give guidance on your personal requirements and we can arrange architects, structural engineers, mechanical electrical engineers, plumbing and heating specialists to provide expert knowledge.
