Frequently Asked Questions

Have you received a referral request for an assessment to be completed? (Social Care, Self-Funding, Continuing Healthcare funding)

The Trusted Assessor can:

  • Support and complete these assessments on behalf of your care home
  • Use your current assessment forms
  • Follow up telephone call within 48 hours of admission to care home
  • Assessments are carried out at the provider’s request/consent.
Has one of your residents gone into Hospital?

If one of your residents have been admitted to hospital, then please let a Trusted Assessor know.

The Trusted Assessor can:

  • Monitor your resident’s admission and keep the home updated as to discharge
  • Complete clear and concise assessments on behalf of your care home.
  • Help you make any adjustments needed to ensure your resident can come back home.
Why have a Trusted Assessor Service?

Research has shown that being unable to access the right care can have a significant negative impact on people’s well-being. There are also serious risks associated with premature or poorly planned discharges.

We are very aware that Wiltshire is a rural county, hospitals may be some distance from the care home or own home, and care providers may find it difficult to travel to carry out their own assessment within a short timescale.

We see and hear about the positive outcomes of running this scheme every day, speeding up of response times, saving Care Home management time, avoiding duplication of work and relationship building between all parties.

After running a hugely successful two-year pilot scheme we are pleased to announce we are now working permanently with local providers and Wiltshire Council.
