One Intergated Pathway – Better Outcomes
Housing providers and local authorities can now access occupational therapy assessments, adaptation specifications, surveying, quotation, and materials supplied through a single coordinated visit, led by AKW in conjunction with The Occupational Therapy Service.
This integrated model removes fragmentation, shortens timescales, and ensures adaptations are clinically appropriate, technically accurate, and built to last.
Independent Occupational Therapy Assessments
Timely, person-centred OT assessments carried out by experienced clinicians who provide clear clinical recommendations aligned to residents’ functional needs and are suitable for housing adaptations, rehousing decisions, and long-term planning.
Clinically Led Adaptation Specifications
Detailed and evidence-based designs and specifications translating clinical need into practical design to support independence, safety and dignity and reduce risk of inappropriate or short-term solutions.
Surveying & Technical Validation
Professional surveys aligned to OT recommendations provide early identification of constraints and risks resulting in fewer variations, delays and cost escalations during delivery.
Accurate Quotations & Cost Control
Strong alignment with value-for-money objectives, providing clear, transparent quotations based on validated specifications improve budget predictability for housing providers and commissioners.
High Quality Materials & Systems
AKW’s proven, compliant adaptation solutions are durable, low maintenance and designed for long-term use which offer consistency across stock portfolios and programmes.
