Care Needs Assessment Service

When do you need a Care Needs Assessment? 

It is sensible to have a Care Needs Assessment before arranging  paid care for yourself or a loved one. It ensures  that you arrange  the appropriate level of care rather than care which is too restrictive or is not safe.

How is a Care Needs Assessment Carried out?

Our Experienced Care professional visits you or your loved one at home or in the hospital where they are currently being cared for. We ask that you make sure that a relative or friend or professional carer is present throughout the one/two hour visit. That ensures that you and we can be sure that our assessment has captured all the relevant information about you/ your loved one’s care needs.

Over this one/two hour discussion the Assessor asks you/your loved a range of questions to find out exactly what sort of care is needed and how frequently each day and night. The assessment will indicate how your/your loved one’s needs (Care home or Care in your own home) can most safely be met and what the likely cost of this care will be.

What are the benefits of our Care Needs Assessment?

Our Assessment report will inform your choice of:

  • The different ways that you/your loved one can receive the care you/your loved one needs at home or in a care home
  • What State help is available to meet the cost of this
  • How you will be able to afford the costs that the State doesn’t cover
