A care assessment will help us decide what your needs
are and how they can be met.
They are carried out through discussions between
yourself and one of our care managers, social workers or
occupational therapists.
These talks cover your personal circumstances, the extent
of your disability, the help you have available and whether
other people can help.
The answers to these questions will help us
decide whether we can offer you our care and most
assessments are very straightforward.
If you have complex problems a more detailed assessment will
be required and with agreement we can include your doctor or
community nurse.
However, there will be some situations when we will not be able to
give you all the help you may feel you need.
If you do receive our help this will be described in a care
plan, which you will receive a copy of, and any costs
will be explained to you.
One of our officers will carry out a financial
assessment and discuss ways you can pay and give advice
on benefits.
