Publisher's Synopsis
Adaptations play a crucial role in prevention and need to be delivered in a timely manner. This publication, commissioned by RCOT from the Housing LIN, demonstrates how adaptations can be delivered in all four UK nations with the individual at the centre and shows when occupational therapists add value to the process, as well as the rationale for when they are needed in the assessment process due to complexity of individual circumstances. Consulted on widely with a range of stakeholders including home improvement agencies and housing associations, this important guidance will assist social care and housing managers as to how adaptations can best be provided locally.
