The assessment

After your Community Alarm has been installed, one of our Care Co-ordinators will visit you to carry out an assessment of your current situation.  The Assessment will include:

• Taking details of your health situation. This information will help us to respond quickly when you need help.
• Checking what other support services you are currently receiving such as Home Care, Meals at Home, or any Voluntary Services.
• Assessing whether you require any minor adaptations to your property such as grab rails or handles.
• Checking whether you are receiving all of the welfare benefits that you are entitled to.    
• Identifying any gaps in service provision and facilitate services to meet them.
• Completing a home visit risk assessment.

From this assessment, our staff will agree a Support Plan.
