Your Community Care Assessment
Community Care Assessment works out what support you need.
Your Social Worker will do your Community Care Assessment.
Your Social Worker Will:
-
Talk to you
-
Find out what you think
-
Talk to people who know you well. We will ask you first
-
Write down what we know about you
-
Write down the support you need
-
Show you what we have written to make sure we have got it right
At the end of the Assessment a list is written. This is called a Care Plan.
Your Care Plan:
A Care Plan is a list of what you need and people who will support you.
Your Social Worker will make the Care Plan with you by:
-
Finding out what support Social Services can give
-
Working out who else can support you
Your Social Worker Will:
-
Help you understand by using symbols, pictures and Easy To Use Words
-
Send you a copy of your Care Plan
-
Send a copy of your Care Plan to the people who are going to support you
-
At your Review ask you if your Care Plan is still ok
Community Care Assessment and Care Plans will take a long time to do. If you need support straight away you can have a quick Community Care Assessment. This will take one week.
Your Social Worker will do a new Community Care Assessment when things change.
You can phone your Social Worker.
You can ask someone to help you phone the right number.
