After an initial telephone discussion, Our management team will arrange a mutually convenient day & time, when they can visit the potential client in their own home, along with as many family members involved in their care or day-to-day lives. The purpose of the visit will be to carry out a care assessment. You will be involved throughout the assessment to identify what your needs are and how these impact your well-being.   

The Care Manager or our Registered Manager will also discuss with you how you wish to live your life, and whether there are certain aims you would like to achieve but feel unable to do so because of your care and support needs.

The care assessment will cover 3 main topics – Personal History, Care Package Requirements and Domestic suitability.

Personal History

As our company ethos is person-centered care it is vital to understand as much as possible about each client. These topics will cover points such as where they were born/grew up, schooling, employment, hobbies, and interests, likes and dislikes, close family members and other relatives, friends and close relationships, etc.

Care Package Requirements

The assessment will then cover any physical difficulties you may have whilst taking into account the emotional and social side of your life. Details will be taken as to exactly what is required for your individual care package. The assessment should reflect your needs and wishes as well as those of any family members involved in your care.

Domestic suitability

Finally, our assessors will make an inspection of the house – paying particular attention to moving and handling as well as health and safety. If it is felt that the home is lacking in any area (eg need for grab rails, loose floor covering, etc. ) this will be indicated and addressed.
