Preparing for your assessment

Needs assessments

Get ready by thinking about:

What health conditions do you have and how do they affect you?
What can you do for yourself?
Who gives you the support and friendship to help you do the things you want?
How often do you need support?
What would you like to be different or better?
What is stopping you from getting there?
What living arrangements would help you maximise your wellbeing and independence?

Get ready by thinking about:

What activities do you help the person you care for with?
How many hours a week do you provide care?
Do you have to provide care and support during the day or night, or both?
Does the person you care for have any health problems or other issues that you find hard to deal with?
How does your caring role impact on you and your family?
Do you have any health problems? If so, are they made worse by your caring role?
Do you work? If so, for how many hours a week?
What would make working or caring easier for you?
What would you most like to change about your situation?

If there is a change in your social care needs or finances, get in touch with us and we can have another look at your assessment.
