Can we help your elderly relative stay safe at home?

Diasbled Living are developing a remote occupational therapy assessment service.

This phase of our project is focusing on keeping older people safe and independent in their own home. To benefit from a free assessment, people can live anywhere in the UK, be over 65 years and they will need somebody with them whilst the assessment takes place, who has a mobile phone with a camera.

The person may already be struggling with their mobility, you may feel they could be at risk of a fall, or they are finding it difficult to do everyday tasks they once took for granted. The person, if suitable for a remote assessment will be assessed by one of Disabled Living’s Occupational Therapist’s (OT’s) and recommendations made, of practical solutions or equipment which may improve their quality of life. As this work is part of an independent research project, the OT who accesses your relative will not be able to provide free equipment via Local Authority/NHS Loan Stores. We anticipate, once this work has concluded the remote assessment software may be available to Occupational Therapy services in your local area.

Your participation in this project, would be so appreciated, as we try to find ways to reduce NHS waiting lists.
