Additional Information: What is a Living at Home Assessment?

A Living at Home Assessment (LAHA) is the process of undertaking a broad holistic assessment of general health and wellbeing in the context of active ageing and independent living.
• building on the person's and carer's autonomy, by offering choices and focusing on individual strengths and interests
• encouraging people to do more for themselves, by regaining skills and capacities wherever possible
• strengthening social, community and family connections

A LAHA may include service-specific assessment(s) for service(s) provided by the assessing organisation, risk management and occupational health and safety assessment (OHS).

A Living at Home Assessment focuses on:
• Social, functional and emotional needs
• Carer and family needs
• Environmental issues
• Strengths and capacities, not just deficits
• Involvement of multidisciplinary expertise

A Living at Home Assessment is a funded HACC activity delivered by designated HACC Assessment Services.

Referral
Referrals are welcomed from clients/carer/family and other service providers.

A SCTT referral is required from service providers – the referral should contain the following:

• Confidential referral cover sheet – clearly outlining the reason for referral
• Consumer information profile
• Summary and referral information profile
• Consumer consent to share information profile
• A copy of the Grampians Region Service Provider Home Safety Checklist (or your equivalent agency safety checklist)
