Clinical Assessment

At Ashton Senior Placement, we understand that determining the appropriate level of care requires a comprehensive evaluation of an individual's needs. That's why we conduct in-depth clinical assessments.

The Assessment Process:

Our clinical assessment is designed to evaluate various aspects of a person's physical, cognitive, and functional abilities. This includes:

• Physical health: Assessing mobility, strength, endurance, and any medical conditions that may require ongoing care.
• Cognitive function: Evaluating memory, attention, problem-solving skills, and orientation.
• Functional abilities: Assessing activities of daily living (ADLs) such as bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, and eating.
• Social and emotional well-being: Evaluating emotional state, social interactions, and support systems.

How the Assessment Helps Determine Care Needs:

The information gathered from the clinical assessment is used to determine the level of care required. This may include:

• Independent living: For individuals who can live independently with minimal assistance.
• Assisted living: For individuals who require assistance with daily living activities but can live in a more independent setting.
• Memory care: For individuals with cognitive impairments such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia.
• Skilled nursing: For individuals who require 24-hour nursing care and medical supervision.
• In-home care: For individuals who prefer to remain in their own homes and require assistance with daily living activities.

By conducting a thorough clinical assessment, we can provide personalized recommendations that accurately reflect an individual's needs and preferences. This ensures that they receive the appropriate level of care and support.
