Commissioners

• • Powerful assessment tool, for planning cost-effective care packages.
• • Self-contained kit, quick and easy to install by your own teams. No installation or set up costs.
• • Easy to move between service users. One kit can be used for multiple assessments in a year.
• • Charts accessed via the internet; multi-disciplinary teams can all access the charts from wherever they work.
• • Helps postpone residential care.

The system pays for itself:

• If residential care is postponed for just 2 weeks
• If 1 hour less of home care is needed per week
• If 1 short, daily ‘checking’ visit is not needed

1 in 4 of all local authorities are using Just Checking for assessment and care planning.

Birmingham City Council has made it a policy that there will be no admission to residential care without a period of assessment using the Just Checking system. 

Staffordshire County Council has equipped each of its teams with Just Checking, to check that the level of intermediate care support is correct, and to gauge the effect of gradually reducing support as the service user regains independence. You can watch a video of this here.

Bath & North East Somerset Council has covered the entire cost of 10 Just Checking systems with just two of their cases. 

 

Just Checking Professional

Used for assessment, Just Checking Professional is designed to be moved between service users. It is quick and simple to install by any member of a social care or community mental health team. Some teams are using a system with 8 or 9 service users in a year.

Just Checking Carer

Designed for long-term use with a single service user, Just Checking Carer is a tool for family members to keep a gentle eye on their relative and manage their caring role with their other responsibilities. Several members of the family can log on, wherever they live, even if it is the other side of the world.

A direct payment could be offered for families who qualify for support.
