Needs Assessment

Before Oldham Council can arrange social care services you need to have an assessment. An assessment involves you (the user) and a trained member of our staff. You may also want to involve someone who looks after you (your carer) or someone to speak for you. The assessment can also include other people, such as your GP.

For more information or to arrange an assessment:
