The Metropolitan Care & Repair DFG Fast Track journey integrates a comprehensive spending review to enhance the process of adapting homes for better accessibility. By promoting a collaborative approach between Occupational Therapists, local authorities, and Home Improvement Agencies, it aims to reduce technical input, visits, and processing time. While delivering positive outcomes like quicker access for clients, it may face challenges such as accelerated spending and limited client engagement time. The team's new approach emphasizes efficiency, with agency approval for grants and budget oversight by the local authority to ensure discretionary yet effective adaptation services.
