Carer assessment

A carer’s assessment looks at the care you provide and aims to determine your needs as a carer. An assessment will consider aspects of your life such as family, employment, social activities, leisure activities, age, health and support already in place. Following an assessment, the types of support which may be available to you include:

  • services that provide you with a break from caring
  • services that help with the support you currently provide
  • information and advice eg. getting a community care assessment
