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 Assessment form can be downloaded by people wishing to prepare in advance of an initial Care Assessment or follow-up review.

Supported Living – What do you need to know? Presentation and Q & A

Use this form to provide the basic information and details about the person you
care for in the event that someone unknown to them needs to step in and provide emergency support.

This plan should give an overview. You can also attach more detailed information including their support plan, a one-page profile and any medical reports or medication needs they may have which will help if they need a care needs assessment if longer term arrangements need to be made.

If you have family and friends who might help – talk to them in advance so that they are aware that they are on the emergency contact list.
