Wherever possible the assessment takes place in the person’s current home, so the environment that is currently meeting their needs can be viewed as well, gaining valuable information from current carers and/or family. In addition to this, the previous care homes care plan, risk assessments, historical information and the Care Managers assessment of needs, where available, is used to inform the assessment process and enable a planned transition to take place. Any specialist support needs are also identified at this stage. If the initial assessment shows the home will be suitable and people’s individual needs can be met, then they are invited to visit the home, meet other people who live there and the staff who support them. A transition plan is then agreed with the person. Usually the transition plan involves a few visits with the opportunity to share a meal, progressing to all day visits with lunch and dinner offered, to overnight stays. It is made very clear throughout the transition process that if the person is not happy with the home they can express this view and withdraw form the transition process. 3 Clareville Road DS0000013483.V371682.R01.S.doc Version 5.2 Page 10 Individual Needs and Choices The intended outcomes for Standards 6 – 10 are: 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
