- Care Needs Assessment
Before you can do anything else, your local authority and a social worker (possibly someone you have already been in touch with) will carry out a Care Needs Assessment. During this assessment they identify what your care needs are and advise on the types of care that will meet these needs. This might be care at home or in a residential setting.
Sometimes there can be a long waiting list for an assessment from your local authority. In these cases, we can provide a care needs assessment to speed up the process of finding the right care and funding options.
