To prepare for a Carers' Assessment in Bolton, it's important to gather some specific information about your situation. This will help you make the most of your meeting with the social care worker. Here's what you might want to consider:
| Information to Prepare |
|---|
| Your expectations for the future and desired lifestyle |
| A reflection on how your life used to be and what you wish to regain |
| Challenges you are currently facing in your caring role |
| Support or resources you believe would be helpful |
| Activities that you enjoy and want to continue |
During the assessment, you'll discuss your needs and how your caring responsibilities impact your wellbeing. It's also helpful to have someone accompany you, like a family member or friend, for additional support. If you want to request an assessment, you can contact Bolton’s Early Intervention Team at EITTeam@bolton.gov.uk or call them at 01204 337860 for assistance.
