Adaptations to your home
If you are finding it hard to get around your home or use your bath facilities, we may be able to make things easier.
Wherever possible we will strive to provide a service that enables you to live independently and as comfortable as possible in your own home.
In order to do this, we work closely with specialist private occupational therapists dealing with referrals for aids and adaptations to homes.
If you have any medical and / or mobility issues and feel you would benefit from an occupational therapist assessment, please contact us on 01685 352800 (selecting option 3 for housing) or mtha@mtha.org.uk
We will arrange a home visit to talk about your requirements and needs so that we can make the appropriate referral.
The occupational therapist will then contact you to arrange a convenient date and time for the assessment. Once the assessment is completed, funding will be sourced to undertake any adaptations are required. Please note that this is subject to available funds and the findings of the report.
Please contact us on 01685 352800 (selecting option 3 for housing) or mtha@mtha.org.uk.
