Useful Information The NHS & Community Care Act came into force on 1 April 1993. Community Care is the network of services which support people in need of care, whether those services are provided by the NHS, Social Care and Health (Social Services), or by the voluntary or private sector. This act places a duty on Social Care and Health to assess any person who appears to be in need of services. The aim is to identify people who can be looked after at home rather than going into residential and nursing home care, and who to provide services in response to their needs. Assessments are the first stage in sorting out what help is needed. You will be eligible for assessment if you appear to need services. The decision about whether to provide any services, and if so which, is taken by Social Services as the result of the assessment and will form part of an individual care plan. How to get the most out of a Care Plan. Assessment is only the first stage of a process of planning individual care. The process will also include devising an individual plan which you should see and which should include details of the services needed. The plan should make provision for the situation and reviewing the assessment regularly.
