Supported Visits
As people live longer and NHS in patient stays are kept to a minimum; the elderly population and people who have chronic health problems and disabilities are cared for more in the community.
HOW WE CAN HELP
Offering support for appointments of any kind
Wharfedale Occupational Therapy can attend any type of appointment where someone may need support such as at a consultation. Appointments with the DWP, NHS, private healthcare, statutory health and / or social care appointments / assessments, the list is endless.
We would meet the person at the venue or travel with them to the appointment, ask your important questions and update you on discussions and treatment plans with the consent of the supported person. We will provide you with a clear interpretation of the discussions and decisions from the appointment.
