Support service helps older adults live independently at home

Otter Therapy, based in Warminster, provides comprehensive assessments to help older adults stay safe, confident and independent at home. 

Founded by Occupational Therapist Rob Padwick, who brings 25 years of NHS and community experience, Otter Therapy was created to give older adults fast, specialist support when everyday tasks become difficult.

“With falls the leading cause of hospital admissions for older adults in the UK – often resulting in hip fractures or other serious complications – early intervention is essential,” said Rob. “That’s why Otter Therapy delivers a seamless service focused on preventing avoidable hospital admissions.”

After a telephone consultation, Rob completes an in-home assessment and can prescribe, supply and fit essential equipment during the same visit.

“From grab rails and bath aids to safer walking aids, this immediate, one-stop approach prevents delays, reduces risk and provides peace of mind,” he added. “My clinical expertise, first-aid qualification and moving-and-handling training ensure safe, trusted care.

“If you want proactive (rather than reactive) support for a loved one, contact us to arrange an assessment on 01985 215742 / 07801151980 or email rob@ottertherapy.co.uk.”

One recent customer Maureen Brown said, “Rob took the time to listen to me and has helped me to remain at home safely. This kitchen trolley has greatly improved my quality of life. I would highly recommend Otter Therapy to anyone worried about an older adult’s independence.”
