Why you might need it
You need an assessment of your care needs if you want help from your local council with care services like:
- home care services
- day care
- a place in a care home
Even if you plan to arrange and pay for these services yourself, it's still a good idea to get an assessment of your care needs so that:
- all your care needs are identified
- you're aware of any help you can get from your local council or the NHS
