How do we define moderate needs?

This is where a person may need advice and support in order to maintain well-being or to sustain their caring relationship or role, now or within the next 6 months.

The government’s Fair Access to Care Services eligibility frameworks says that risks will be defined as moderate when:

• There is, or will be, an ability to carry out several personal care or domestic routines.

• Involvement in several aspects of work, education or learning cannot or will not be sustained.

• Several social support systems and relationships cannot or will not be sustained.

• Several family and other social roles and responsibilities cannot or will not be undertaken
