What is a carer’s assessment?
A carer’s assessment is a conversation about your wellbeing, how you feel and identify support for you. The assessment will not be testing your capability as a carer. The assessment will allow you to talk about:
- your feelings
- your physical, emotional and mental wellbeing
- your role as a carer, and whether this will be a long term role
- how your role as a carer affects, your work, finance, health, education, leisure, wellbeing and relationships
- what your goals are
Carers assessments can be completed alone or combined with the person you care for.
