What is an Occupational Therapist and why do I need one for my home?

An Occupational Therapist is a registered healthcare professional who helps people overcome physical, cognitive, or environmental barriers to daily activities. In home design, an OT ensures adaptations are clinically matched to your exact mobility needs, preventing falls and ensuring long-term safety.

Does an accessible home have to look clinical?

No. Homes Reimagined combines clinical OT expertise with thoughtful interior design, using considered materials, concealed support structures, appropriate lighting, and practical layouts.

Do you help with Disabled Facilities Grants (DFG)?

An independent OT assessment can support a Disabled Facilities Grant application, but eligibility, acceptance and funding are decided by the relevant local authority.
