Your home care or live-in care needs assessment

We know taking this first step into asking for help can be daunting and even slightly embarrassing for some people. At Careers at Home we put the confidentiality and dignity at the forefront of our service. We are experts at providing both home care and live-in care and we have seen it all before.

A thorough plan will be devised and cover a wide range of information including,

​

• What are your desires/What do you want to achieve out of your care
• What are your interests and hobbies
• What level of personal care you require, if any
• Your Physical well-being
• Family involvement and other personal and social contacts
• Sight, hearing and communication
• Continence
• Mobility, dexterity and need for disability equipment
• Mental health and cognition
• Medication requirements
• Personal safety and risk - including a thorough risk assessment
• Specific condition-related needs and specialist input
• Dietary requirements and preferences
• Social interests, religious and cultural needs (if appropriate)
• Preferred method of communication
• Method of payment and terms and conditions of service (self funding clients only)

​

At the end of your assessment we will be able to advise you how much care we think you require and advise on the length of time each task will require.
