Care needs assessment

If you need social care, whether that’s home adaptations or a care home, a care needs assessment is the first step.

What does the care needs assessment involve?

A social care professional will usually come to see you to find out how you’re managing everyday tasks. You may be offered a telephone or online assessment. If you feel this is not right for you, ask for a face-to-face assessment. They will look at:
