Yes. Occupational therapy is a clinical support under Support at Home, so it draws on the client’s quarterly budget. Clients don’t pay a contribution towards clinical supports.
Yes. The Assistive Technology and Home Modifications (AT-HM) scheme is funded separately from the quarterly budget, at the tier approved in the client’s assessment. Many items need an OT assessment and prescription first, and our report sets out which costs can go to AT-HM.
No. For Support at Home clients, the care partner or provider can refer. Clients who self-manage can refer themselves.
We let the case manager know once a booking is made, and send our report and recommendations after the assessment.
