Community Therapy Service (CTS)

What we do

The Community Therapy Service (CTS) provides short term rehabilitation at home for people who are having difficulty in managing their normal daily activities following a recent illness or injury.

CTS aims to increase/maintain a person’s independence and quality of life following the changes in their health.

Who is the service for?

CTS is available for adults with a new health condition affecting their quality of life.

You must be over 18 years old and registered with an Oxfordshire GP.

Those needing the support of a CTS Mental Health practitioner should be over 65 years or have a diagnosis of early onset dementia.

What should you expect?

CTS will complete an initial assessment of your needs either via telephone or video consultation. If neither of these options are suitable to you then a face-to-face visit can be arranged.

They will assess your needs and create with you, a personal care plan and treatment goals. These will follow a SMART principle:

• Specific
• Measurable
• Achievable
• Realistic
• Time-bound

Once your goals are established, they will work with you for a time limited course of intervention to help you achieve your goals. Regular progress review will be offered by various members of the CTS team.

Interventions

Interventions can include:

• Provision of basic equipment
• Home-based exercise programs
• Collaborative problem solving
• Practicing activities to build confidence with new strategies

All interventions will be personalised to your needs.

Each member you need will work with you to help you achieve your goals.
