We visit, and write the report everyone reads
An independent clinical assessment at home, in hospital or in a care home, written so the NHS, the council and the care provider can act on it.
- Visit of up to 2 hours
- Full written report in 5 working days
- Review call within 30 days
- Urgent hospital discharge: +£290
What the report covers
- Health, mobility, eating and drinking, continence and skin
- Memory, mood, behaviour and decision-making
- Risks, and what keeps the person safe
- The level and type of care needed, day and night
- Whether NHS funding should be considered, and why
Who it helps
Families arguing a case with the council or NHS, planning a move, or needing an independent view when professionals disagree.
Included: one home visit, one full report within 5 working days and one review call within 30 days. Visits are included across East Sussex and Brighton & Hove.
Not included: attending meetings (£295 each), writing to the NHS or council on your behalf (quoted), and travel further afield (quoted first).
When it ends: after the review call, or 30 days after the report, whichever is first.
Is it time to ask for an assessment?
Five questions. No email, nothing stored. The result tells you how urgent it is, who to ring, and the words to use.



Questions
Is this the same as the council’s assessment?
No. The council’s Care Act assessment is free and you should still ask for it. Ours is independent, and it often makes the council’s assessment fairer.
Do you need the person’s consent?
Yes, where they can give it. If they can’t, we follow the Mental Capacity Act and work with the family or attorney.
