Occupational Therapy — at Home

Physiotherapist visiting a client at home

When everyday things start to feel difficult, the answer is often in your own home — so that's where we come to you.

Whether it's getting in and out of the bath, managing the stairs, getting dressed or making a meal, our occupational therapist works with you in your own home to find safer, easier ways of doing the things that matter. We aim to visit within 1–7 days of your call, and no GP referral is needed.

Arranging physiotherapy for yourself or for someone you love? Just call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll take it from there.

Occupational therapy is currently available across Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Southbourne, Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood, Ringwood and Wareham. Elsewhere, our physiotherapists cover much of the same ground — getting in and out of chairs, beds and cars, stairs and walking aids — and we're actively recruiting occupational therapists for other areas. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll tell you honestly what we can arrange.

Much of this work is occupational therapy for elderly people at home, but we help adults of every age — including after a stroke, an operation or a long illness.

Our occupational therapy helps with:

  • A full home assessment — what's hard, what's risky and what would help
  • Washing, bathing and showering safely
  • Getting dressed and other personal care
  • Getting in and out of bed, chairs, the toilet and the car
  • Stairs and moving around your home
  • Equipment and adaptations, such as rails, raised seats and bathing aids
  • Falls prevention and safer routines
  • Splinting and positioning advice

    Physiotherapy or Occupational Therapy?

    Physiotherapy exercises at home

    Which One Do You Need?

    Physiotherapy builds strength, balance and movement. Occupational therapy looks at the practical business of daily life — how you wash, dress, cook and get around your home — and what would make those things safer and easier.

    Not sure which you need? Call us and we'll help you decide.

    Often the answer is a bit of both, and our physiotherapists and occupational therapist work together. Your first visit lasts 60 minutes or more, and treatment and advice start on the day.

    Occupational therapy costs the same as physiotherapy: a first visit of £110 (60 minutes or more) and follow-ups from £55.

    Our Services

    Our HCPC-registered physiotherapists provide home visits across Dorset, Hampshire, Wiltshire, Somerset, Bath, Bristol and parts of Devon.

    We aim to visit within 1–7 days of your call, with no GP referral needed.

    Whatever your condition, we match you with the clinician whose specialism fits your needs — and we treat you in the place where you actually have to manage day to day.

    Other Help With Equipment and Adaptations

    Some help is also available free through your council or the NHS.

    Your council. Anyone can ask their local council for a free care needs assessment, which can include equipment and changes to make your home safer.

    After a hospital stay. If you've just come out of hospital, ask whether you're entitled to short-term NHS or council support at home.

    When you want help sooner, or more of it. We can visit within days, take the time to look at the whole picture, and work alongside any NHS or council support you already have.

    What It Costs

    Clear pricing, agreed before your first visit. No packages and no block bookings.

    Initial Assessment
    £110
    60+ minutes, including treatment
    Follow-Up Visits
    30 minutes£55
    45 minutes£82.50
    60 minutes£110

    Your first visit lasts 60 minutes or more, and treatment starts on the day: we talk through your health and what you’re finding hard, agree your goals, look at how you move, and leave you with exercises and a plan.

    There’s no set course. About 1 in 4 of our clients need just one visit, and about half need three or fewer.

    Ways to Pay

    Most people pay privately, but it isn't the only route.

    • Paying privately — no referral, pay after each visit
    • Private health insurance, including BUPA and WPA
    • Personal budgets and Direct Payments from Wiltshire Council
    • Attendance Allowance, if you are over State Pension age
    • NHS Continuing Healthcare funding you already hold

    Cover varies by policy and by council, so it's worth checking what yours includes before you book. We've written a plain-English guide explaining how each route works and what to ask.

    FAQs

    Do I need a GP referral?

    No. You don't need a GP referral — call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll arrange a visit.

    What does an occupational therapist do?

    An occupational therapist helps you do everyday tasks — washing, dressing, cooking, getting around your home — more safely and easily, through practice, new ways of doing things, and the right equipment or adaptations.

    What's the difference between physiotherapy and occupational therapy?

    Physiotherapy rebuilds strength, balance and movement. Occupational therapy focuses on the practical tasks of daily life and your home set-up. Many people benefit from both.

    Which areas does your occupational therapist cover?

    At the moment: Poole, Bournemouth, Christchurch, Southbourne, Wimborne, Ferndown, Verwood, Ringwood and Wareham. Elsewhere our physiotherapists can help with much of the same, and we're recruiting occupational therapists for other areas.

    How much does occupational therapy cost?

    The same as physiotherapy: £110 for a first visit of 60 minutes or more, and follow-ups from £55. The first phone conversation is free.

    Can you recommend equipment for my home?

    Yes. We look at how you manage around your home and advise on equipment and adaptations that would help, such as rails, raised seats and bathing aids.

    How many visits will I need?

    There's no set course. About 1 in 4 of our clients need just one visit, and about half need three or fewer. We agree a plan with you at the first visit.

    Can I arrange occupational therapy for my parent?

    Yes. Many of our calls come from family members. Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 and we'll talk through what's needed.

    Ready to make everyday life easier?

    Call Salveo Forma on 07384 590177 for a free, no-obligation conversation with our Clinical Director. She'll listen to your situation, tell you honestly whether we can help, and match you with the right specialist.
