Assessment Process

​

Once we are approached to provide a service we undertake an initial assessment meeting, we will complete a very comprehensive person centered care plan and assessment of any risk with detailed expected outcomes which we would then agree with our service user, family and any other health professional, this will then provide the guidance and expectations for care workers to adhere to.

Every service user is allocated regular care workers to ensure continuity at all times, the primary areas covered by staff can include:

• Morning & Bedtime assistance
