Care and Support Assessment
After exploring the options available, the person that you care for may feel that they need more support. They might need to have a Care and Support Assessment from Nottinghamshire County Council. This will allow them to explain the things they are finding hard to achieve and we will discuss how we might be able to help them. There may be a charge for some services provided, depending on the person’s financial situation.
The aim of the assessment will always be to help a person regain or maintain a level of independence. We will carry out the assessment in the most proportionate way depending on their needs, this could be over the telephone or at one of our clinics.
