Care Act Needs Assessment

To see if your relative is eligible for support from adult social care a Care Act Needs Assessment will need to be completed.

It is now possible to complete a form online which can be accessed through the Adult Social Care Information and Advice Hub on the county council website.  However, you can still request a face to face assessment if you would prefer.

OxFSN have produced a set of guidelines about what you need to consider when completing a Care Act Needs Assessment which can be downloaded by clicking on the links here:

The Adult Social Care Act Needs Assessment Form Template can be downloaded by people wishing to prepare in advance of an initial Care Assessment or follow-up review.
