  1. OFH Care Mental Capacity Assessment: What You Need To Know?

  2. Have you ever found yourself unable to make decisions all on your own? For those who are unable to make the decisions, the mental capacity law exists for them, which enables them to make the decisions for themselves. Everyone suffers from ups and downs in their life. But if you are feeling negative, depressed, want to avoid people, or have any other trouble, and these issues are affecting your life and your loved ones, it is time to take action. You must take the treatment with a mental capacity assessor early because it can be worse if you wait. Before this, you must know about it.

  3. When is the time to assess capacity? First, you need to understand the time to assess the capacity. When a person is incapable of taking decisions by themselves at a particular time because their mind is not responding and the brain is affected by illness. You can decide if someone lacks capacity by their age, behavior, or appearance. And this condition is not permanent.

  4. How the assessment is carried out? A diagnostic test is the first stage, or you can say the test that is done. In this, a person's behavior is the first thing to look at. The disturbance in the mind's functioning can be due to illness or other external factors. Mental and other records are gathered in this process, and a decision is made based on that. If the test finds out that there is a potential impairment, the second stage will be there. The second test is the functional test, and it involves asking questions about the impairment and the influences on the ability. It is crucial to note whether a person can make the decisions or not. If the person is unable to understand anything and even unable to make the decisions, then it is a matter of concern.

  5. Who should assess capacity? • Following the two-stage test, anyone taking care of and supporting the person who is lacking the capacity is involved in assessing the capacity. • People who are in the health and social care, should do the capacity assessments, rather than rely on expert testing. • If you are dealing with complex issues, consult a professional, they will help you in identifying any major issue.

  6. If you are witnessing any changes in your loved ones, you should communicate them about their health. Don't be afraid because it may help them cope with the issues they are dealing with. Many people deal with this problem, and there is no need to fear finding a prospective solution. with Slides 13
