Assessment

Assessment Route

Step 1

Contact your District Nursing Team within your Health Centre, or the Adult Social Care Enquiry Team within the council and request an Equipment Assessment.

Telephone: 01506 284848. Email: ascet_otenquires@westlothian.gov.uk

Step 2

An assessor will undertake an assessment of need and request any equipment required. If you have to pay contributions towards your equipment, this will be discussed with you at assessment.

Step 3

The Community Equipment Store will provide equipment as soon as possible after it has been requested, and in line with Service Standards.

Step 4

A colleague from Health and Social Care will check in with you once your equipment has been delivered to ensure it is helping you as expected.
