Thinking about getting a wheelchair? It can be a big investment, so it’s worth taking a bit of time before choosing one.

Things like the right size, comfort, posture support, where you’ll use it (indoors, outdoors, or both), and how easy it is to transport can all make a huge difference day to day.

This is where an Occupational Therapist (OT) can really help. An OT can look at your mobility, posture, lifestyle, and environment to help you find the wheelchair that actually works for you. They can also help with trials and adjustments so you don’t end up spending money on something that isn’t quite right.

A little advice before you buy can save a lot of frustration later and help make sure your wheelchair supports your independence and daily life. ♿

Is someone you care for coming home from hospital soon?

For many families and carers, the transition from hospital to home can feel overwhelming. Knowing how best to support your loved one while they recover can be challenging.

You don’t have to manage it all on your own.

Staff here at OT4life have been busy contacting Care Home Managers across the local districts of Leeds, Wakefield and York this past week to let them know about the new face to face workshops we have just released for Care Home Teams. We recently did an introductory falls prevention talk to local care homes and both staff and residents fed back that they had gained a better understanding of practical ways to reduce falls risk.

Take a look at the flyer below, these are not all of our workshops, we will be producing more shortly.

If you are a Care Home/Provider Manager or work in a care environment and you feel our workshops could benefit your team then just get in touch with us and we can tell you more about them.

OT4Life support employers when staff are preparing to return to work after long-term sickness. We help employees rebuild confidence, manage their health at work, and settle back into their role in a sustainable way.

This support can really help reduce repeat sickness absence and make the return-to-work process easier for both managers and employees.

If it’s something that could be helpful for your organisation, we'd be happy to have a quick chat and share a bit more about what we can do. Give us a call on 07967 648543 or contact us by email: www.ot4life.co.uk

It has certainly been a week of Training at OT4Life Today came with a little twist.

We spend a lot of time making sure staff are confident with falls prevention and know the early signs to look out for. But we also believe our residents and service users should feel empowered to manage their own Mobility. Knowledge is power, even more so when you are trying to stay steady on your feet.

Today we delivered one of our resident friendly falls talks. These sessions are designed to spark conversation, build confidence and keep people happy healthy and independent in their homes and care settings.

We also ran one of our walking MOT sessions. Every walking aid in the building had a full spot check and we swapped out all the tired worn down ferruls for fresh new ones. Small changes like this make a massive difference to stability and safety.

A good chat a few laughs and safer walking for everyone. Not a bad day at all. More of this to come as we keep pushing falls prevention forward across our local communities.
