Assessments
An assessment helps us to understand and agree your needs. We want to ensure we get the right decision about your care and support. Every person using Dudley Disability Service will complete an assessment of need. This will decide if there will be a cost for the support provided. Many services are free of charge.
A social care assessment is where we will sit down with you to discuss how you want to live your life and what care and support could help improve your situation.
A carers assessment is an opportunity for you to discuss with us your needs and feelings as a carer and the support or services you need to help you continue caring.
