What happens
Before
The referral and relevant background information are reviewed to confirm the assessment is appropriate.

Alana observes the resident's function, discusses their care needs, and considers their environment, equipment and falls risks.
Afterwards
The care home receives a written OT Assessment and Action Plan with clear, resident-specific recommendations.
Common questions
Is equipment provision guaranteed?
No. Eligible equipment may be supplied through local-authority routes, subject to their own eligibility, assessment and approval process. Quiet Confidence OT cannot guarantee provision. Privately purchased or hired equipment is separate from the assessment fee.
Can additional support be arranged?
Yes. Follow-up functional reviews, falls-focused assessments, mobility and transfer reviews, seating and positioning reviews, reablement programmes, family consultations and ongoing OT support can all be arranged and quoted separately.

Still unsure whether an assessment fits?
Describe the resident's needs first.
If another service would be more appropriate, Alana will explain this clearly.
