A Living at Home Assessment is a person-centred assessment of the person and their carer's needs, which leads to a care plan and individualised service responses.  The assessment and care planning process sits within the service coordination framework and takes an ASM approach to:

•	building on the person's and carer's autonomy, by offering choices and focusing on individual strengths and interests
•	encouraging & supporting people to regain skills and capacities wherever possible
•	strengthening social, community and family connections

A Living at Home Assessment is a broad, holistic needs based assessment and can include: a service specific assessment and care plan for the range of HACC services delivered by the assessing organisation; a referral action plan to both HACC and non-HACC services that cannot be met by the assessing organisation. 

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.

 Golden Plains is a vibrant, predominantly rural municipality servicing a number of townships and communities.  It extends from Haddon, close to Ballarat in the north, to the Barwon River, near Geelong, in the south. 
Golden Plains Shire covers an area of approximately 2705 square kilometres with a population of 14,000.  Population statistics reveal a rapidly growing residential sector in the regions closest to Geelong and Ballarat.  The level of services and proximity to these centres, combined with affordable housing and attainment of a semi rural lifestyle are appealing and result in Golden Plains Shire being a developing municipality with much to offer.

Aged Care Assessment Services (A.C.A.S.) are independent teams who assist frail older people and their carers identify what kind of care will best meet their needs. Assessment teams are multi-disciplinary and can include health professionals such as medical officers, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists and physiotherapists. They conduct comprehensive medically based assessments for those needing community services or aged care residential services.
