An assessment will be carried out within five working days of receipt of all required information. Our preference is for face to face assessment but this can be virtual if needed due to Covid restrictions.
The assessment will be carried out by one of our experienced staff. The assessment will take place in the most convenient location for the individual, which may be their current residence or one of our services. The individuals support and care teams are invited to be present, as we aim to consider the perspectives of all involved with the individuals’ support.
The team will assess the individual using a holistic approach, with an emphasis on understanding the individual beyond their condition. The assessment will look to further identify the individuals mental and physical health support needs, their current situation, potential risk to themselves and others, and explore their ambitions and willingness to engage with recovery.
After the assessment our referrals team will determine suitability and will give feedback to the individual and care team within five working days.
