Care homes and equipment

Using case scenarios, this document highlights a number of responsibilities and standards of practice to help prioritise the importance of the person’s wellbeing in the decision-making process. Produced by the Royal College of Occupational Therapists in consultation with its members, this publication will assist occupational therapy practitioners with local decision-making and the timely provision of equipment. This guide will also provide a useful reference point for members of the public, employing organisations and others who need to be aware of the process for assessing and providing  equipment for people living in care homes.
