Occupational Therapist
Mobility Solutions

You assess patients who need mobility equipment to remain safe and independent at home. Obam Stairlifts works closely with occupational therapists to provide reliable stairlift and mobility solutions that meet your patients’ specific needs.

Why Occupational Therapists Choose Obam

Since 2000, we have built strong working relationships with OT departments and community health teams, with a section of our site dedicated to OT requests. Our team understands the assessment process and can provide technical advice to support your recommendations.

Our advisors work with you, not against you. They assess each case individually and recommend appropriate solutions based on your patient’s needs and abilities. With years of experience, we understand how mobility equipment fits into care plans.

How We Help Occupational Therapists

Supporting Your Patient Assessments

Your assessments identify mobility challenges that equipment can solve. Our advisors can visit properties with you or separately to evaluate technical feasibility. We provide detailed reports that support your recommendations and funding applications.

Each site survey includes measurements, photographs, and technical specifications. You receive clear information about installation requirements, space needed, and any building modifications required.

Straight Stairlifts for Standard Staircases

Your patients with straight staircases need simple, reliable access solutions. Our straight stairlifts work on most standard residential staircases. These units are easy to operate and maintain, which matters for patients with varying abilities.

Installation typically takes half a day with minimal disruption. Your patient receives full training on safe operation and basic maintenance. Emergency stop features and safety sensors provide peace of mind for patients and families.

Curved Stairlifts for Complex Layouts

Many homes have curved staircases, landings, or awkward layouts. Our curved stairlifts are built specifically for each staircase, following every turn and angle. This means your patients can access all areas of their home safely.

Each curved installation is measured precisely and manufactured to fit exactly. The smooth rail system operates quietly, which reduces anxiety for nervous users. Multiple stopping points allow access to intermediate landings.

Through-Floor Lifts for Wheelchair Users

Your wheelchair using patients need different solutions. Our domestic lifts provide vertical access for wheelchairs and mobility scooters. These lifts work both indoors and outdoors, giving patients access to gardens and external areas.

They take up minimal floor space while providing maximum functionality. Safety features include emergency lowering systems and backup power options. Regular maintenance keeps these lifts operating reliably.

Hoists for Transfer Needs

Your patients may need assistance with transfers between bed, chair, and bathroom. Our hoists provide safe transfer solutions that reduce carer strain and patient anxiety.

Ramps for Threshold Access

Small steps and thresholds create barriers for wheelchair and mobility aid users. Our ramp solutions provide safe access over these obstacles. We supply portable ramps for temporary use and permanent installations for long-term needs.

Threshold ramps handle doorway access and small level changes. Modular ramp systems work well for larger height differences. Each ramp is calculated to provide safe gradients that patients can manage independently.

Rapid Response for Urgent Cases

Hospital discharge planning often works to tight timescales. Our team can fast track assessments and installations for urgent cases. We maintain stock of common models to reduce waiting times.

Emergency installations can often be completed within days of assessment. Our 24/7 engineer service provides ongoing support once your patient is home.

Funding Support and Documentation

We understand the funding landscape for mobility equipment. Our team can provide detailed quotes and specifications that support your funding applications. We work with direct payments, grants, and insurance claims.

Documentation includes technical specifications, installation requirements, and maintenance schedules. This information supports your case for funding approval and ongoing care planning.

Training and Handover Process

Your patients need confidence to use their new equipment safely. Our engineers provide thorough training during installation, covering operation, safety features, and basic maintenance. Family members and carers can join these sessions.

We provide written instructions and emergency contact details. If patients need additional support or training after installation, follow-up visits can be arranged.

Maintenance and Ongoing Support

Reliable equipment requires regular maintenance. Our maintenance contracts include scheduled visits and priority emergency callouts, giving your patients confidence that help is available when needed.

Our engineers carry common spare parts and can diagnose problems quickly. Preventive maintenance identifies potential issues before they cause breakdowns.
