Proportionate care that encourages independence
It can be difficult to make an accurate assessment of a person with dementia if they live alone. Just Checking helps practitioners complete objective assessments, providing evidence of a person’s abilities and identifying where they may need support. That means that care and support can concentrate on maintaining independence in the familiarity of home.
This is really about providing the right social care support for a customer when they need it and that led to us being nominated for a national award for innovation in social care which I am really proud of. Peter Bungard, Chief Executive, Gloucstershire County Council

Outcome focused care
Through evidence based assessment
With the Care Act championing the importance of understanding an individual’s care needs, evidence based assessment tools have never been so essential.
A 24 hour, objective overview of an individual’s activity at home, in conjunction with other information gathering, enables practitioners to establish a realistic picture of the care required.
Just Checking can help:
Understand an individual’s routine and where support may be required
Provide an overview of an individual’s night-time activity and identify whether this poses a threat to their safety
Reassure practitioners and family members that an individual is able to live safely in their own home
Family and practitioners make difficult decisions about a person’s care that are proportionate and maximise well-being
