Here at Advanced Adult Care Assessments, we provide social care assessments that are person centred, strength and outcome focussed which meet the requirements of the Care Act. As the sister company of the long-established Advanced Child Care Assessments, we have over 25 years’ experience within social care services.
Created to support the growing demand within the adult sector, we have built a panel of highly qualified, Independent Social Workers who work closely with our in-house social work experts and our administrative support team to provide quality assessments to Local Authorities and Solicitors.
Why are adult care assessments important?
Local Authorities have a Duty under the Care Act 14 to ensure that individuals who “appear” to have Care and Support Needs have access to a timely Needs Assessment and Care and Support Plan where this is needed. Ensuring individuals have access to timely Assessments may mean individuals can receive advice or guidance or access to Universal Services which may delay or prevent their needs in the future.
So, what does Advanced ACA offer?
At Advanced ACA we provide a range of adult assessments for Local Authorities, Solicitors and self-funding individuals. The assessments we offer include:
- Needs Assessments and Care and Support Plans
- Social Care Reviews,
- Mental Capacity Assessments,
- Carers Assessments
- Continuing Healthcare Checklist.
Our panel of hand-selected Independent Social Workers have a range of specialisms and we ensure each individual is matched with the most suitable social worker with the most appropriate experience and qualifications. Our commitment to a person-centered and compassionate approach means individuals are supported throughout the entire process. Assessments are tailored around the individual ensuring their engagement wherever this is possible.
Why use Advanced ACA?
In 2022, NHS Digital reported that there were almost 2 million requests for adult social care support from 2021-2022. This equates to 5,420 requests per day in England, more than a 3% increase from the previous year. As these numbers continue to grow, Local Authorities cannot keep up with demand, meaning potentially vulnerable adults are not getting the assessments they need to ensure they have the correct care in place.
Whether you are a Local Authority or a Solicitor, here’s how Advanced ACA can support you with your assessment needs.
Local Authorities
Advanced ACA offers an alternative solution to social care agencies and unlike most agencies, all of the Independent Social Workers on our panel have a minimum of 5 years’ experience. We provide support from an experienced team to address your social care challenges and reduce growing backlogs and waiting lists.
Advanced ACA also offers a fully managed serviced. When we are instructed, we manage the entire process from the initial assessment to a completed, quality assured report saving you time and additional work.
As well as offering a flexible ‘pay per assessment’ model that means you can customise proposals based on your specific requirements, whether it be for a single assessment, small batches, or projects, we never take any kind of additional fees or a cut of any efficiency savings you make. Our prices are cost-effective, great value for money, and transparent meaning absolutely no hidden charges.
Solictors
We have extensive experience in providing assessments and reports for Solicitors nationwide. Our ‘pay per assessment’ model means we can extend our services to both private clients and cases where Legal Aid applies.
We work directly with individuals and their families to carry out independent assessments of the highest quality without delay. Our assessments and reports deliver a clear view of care needs and identify services the individual may be eligible for.
