Assessing your care needs

Overview

If you or someone you know needs help with day-to-day tasks and is finding it hard to manage without support, you can ask us for a free social care needs assessment. 

An assessment is a conversation about your needs, how these affect your wellbeing and what you want to be able to do in your daily life. The assessment is to decide whether you need support from social care, and what other support might be helpful.  

If you or someone you know needs a social care assessment or review, contact the Adult Intake Team at the council on 020 8227 2915 or intaketeam@lbbd.gov.uk
