Personal Care Assessments

Personal Care Assessments

Getting a needs assessment


If you think you, or someone you know, needs help to cope day-to-day, the first step is to get a needs assessment from your local council.

You'll need to have this assessment before the council can recommend a service such as:


  • equipment like a walking frame or personal alarm
  • changes to your home such as a walk-in shower
  • practical help from a paid carer
  • day care for your child if either you or they are disabled
  • access to day centres and lunch clubs
  • moving to a care home




The needs assessment is free and anyone can ask for one.

What happens in the assessment


Someone from the council such as a social worker or occupational therapist will ask you how you're managing everyday tasks like washing, dressing and cooking.


They might ask you to describe how well you do certain things like making a cup of tea and getting out of a chair.


If it seems you may need some alterations in and around your home such as grab rails in the bathroom, you might also be referred for a separate assessment of your home.


The needs assessment can happen:


  • face-to-face
  • over the phone


Assessments usually last at least an hour.
