Person-Centred Needs Assessment
About this document
The provider’s own assessment of a person before their care starts (a pre-admission or initial assessment). It gathers what you need to decide safely whether you can meet the person’s needs, to agree the start, and to write the care plan. It covers 20 areas, a home environment check, the Care Act eligibility outcomes and a sign-off decision.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
