Occupational Therapy Solutions for Housing Associations

Creating accessible, inclusive and independent living spaces
At The Occupational Therapy Service we partner with housing associations to enhance the safety, accessibility and overall well-being of residents. Our expert occupational therapists provide tailored support to ensure that homes meet the diverse needs of tenants, particularly those with disabilities, older adults and individuals recovering from injury or illness.
Home assessments and adaptations
Our specialists conduct thorough assessments to identify potential hazards and recommend practical adaptations for inclusive housing. From grab rails and stairlifts to fully accessible bathroom modifications, we ensure homes promote independence and prevent unnecessary hospital admissions.


Support for tenants with complex needs
We work directly with tenants, helping them maintain their independence through assistive technology, adaptive equipment recommendations and daily living strategies. Our interventions reduce the likelihood of tenancy breakdowns due to unmet care needs. Our specialists can also facilitate community-led initiatives to promote social inclusion and reduce loneliness, improving quality of life.
Expert advice on housing design and policy
We assist housing associations in designing and implementing inclusive housing policies, ensuring compliance with accessibility standards and best practices. Our expertise helps shape future-proof, adaptable housing solutions.


Smooth transitions and relocations
For residents moving into or within housing association properties, we provide transition support, ensuring homes are appropriately set up for their specific needs. This includes space planning, equipment provision and functional training.
Training for housing staff and care teams
We offer workshops and training for housing professionals to recognise accessibility challenges, implement reasonable adjustments and better support tenants with disabilities or health conditions.
