Getting an assessment for the person you care for can help determine their specific needs and what services and supports may be available to them. Here's a general guide on how to get an assessment for someone you care for:

• 1. Contact your local authority or council: Depending on where you live, your local authority or council will have a department that deals with social care assessments. Contact them to find out more about the process and how to request an assessment.
• 2. Speak to your GP: Your GP can also help you access an assessment. They can refer you to a community care assessment team or other relevant service.
• 3. Contact the National Health Service (NHS): The NHS also has teams that can carry out assessments, such as the Community Care Assessment Team.
• 4. Get in touch with the hospital: If the person you care for has recently been discharged from the hospital, the hospital should be able to provide information on how to request an assessment.
• 5. Reach out to carer support organizations: Some organizations such as Carers UK, Age UK or other local Carer support organizations can help you navigate the process and provide you with information and guidance.

It's important to note that the process of getting an assessment can vary depending on where you live, so it's best to reach out to the relevant authorities and organizations in your area for specific information. Also, the assessment process can take some time so be patient and persistent.
