You know the small details of an ordinary day. Those details can help explain where support would make a difference.
A clear account of an ordinary day helps explain support needs without relying on broad phrases such as needing a little help.
A practical way to begin
Use concrete examples and avoid guessing a level of care. A professional assessment should consider the information alongside relevant records and the person’s own account.
Your discussion checklist
- Describe mornings, meals, personal care and evenings
- Note tasks the person does independently
- Explain where prompting or hands-on help is needed
- Include routines the person wants to keep
Before you take the next step
Keep your notes current and private. Ask the home how to provide them securely and whether it needs information from existing carers or professionals as well.
