The project will focus on six clients and their carers living independently in the Blaenau Gwent Community. All clients considered will receive a full comprehensive assessment under the NHS and Community Care Act 1990, which will be completed by nurses. A full medical assessment will be carried out by a doctor. Clients and carers will be fully involved in the assessment process using the MMSE, CADI and CASI rating scales. This will determine how they perceive their quality of life at the start of the project, 6 months and 12 months into the project.
