A pre-admission assessment plays a crucial role in identifying an individual's current care requirements, facilitating the selection of an appropriate care facility. Once completed, this assessment serves as a comprehensive document that can be presented to potential care facilities to evaluate their capacity to meet the individual's specific needs. Such assessments can be conducted in various settings including hospitals for discharge planning, at the individual's residence, or within other care homes and assisted living environments. This process ensures informed decisions regarding placement, aiming to optimize the individual's care and well-being.
