Croydon occupational therapy

Helping you stay at home with equipment, adaptations, and specialist advice to help you live independently.

Our occupational therapy service supports Croydon residents and their carers who are living with a disability or medical condition. We assess how you manage daily activities in and around your home and offer practical solutions to help you remain independent.

How we help:

• Assessment by an occupational therapist, either by phone or home visit, to identify your individual needs.
• Advice and recommendations for changes to your home environment, tailored to promote independence and reduce risks.
• Support with daily living tasks such as bathing, getting in and out of bed, accessing the toilet, entering and leaving your property, using stairs, and personal care.
• Consideration of support from formal carers and relatives.
• Collaboration with other professionals, services, and organisations to ensure you receive the right support.

How to access:

• If you need support or advice, start by completing our online form. We will have a conversation with you to understand your situation and how we can help.
