Description

West Northamptonshire Council’s Community Therapy Service aims to support adults in living their best lives with their disabilities or long-term conditions. Support can include:

  • an assessment
  • support
  • advice
  • loaning equipment from the Integrated Community Equipment Store
  • arranging minor adaptations
  • recommending major adaptations
  • making referrals to other specialist services

The Community Therapy Service also provides assessments for children with disabilities or long-term conditions who may benefit from adaptations to the home. 

About the Assessment 

The service offers an assessment to establish your needs (relating to your disability or long-term condition). During your assessment, information is gathered about:

  • what matters most to you
  • your strengths (what you can do)
  • information about your disability or condition
  • the difficulties or challenges you could be facing

The assessment is a two-way open discussion and will cover all relevant areas of your life. The information gathered is used to agree a person-centred and strength-based plan.

Assessments usually take place at home but can also be in a centre where therapists are based. They consider your physical, social, and cultural needs (and those of your carer).
