Dependency Assessment
Keep Track of Residents’ Needs
Our dependency assessment tool helps you keep track of your care home residents’ requirements. An integrated dependency tool gives you a score to identify the dependency level of each resident. The tool can also help you detect any changes in their levels of dependency.
Configure Risk Assessment
Our tool is used to configure risk assessment at each stage in a resident’s care plan. It provides guidance to help nurses and caregivers eliminate risk and provide the best possible care to each resident.

Data from dependency assessments can be used to monitor progress in a resident’s condition. It evaluates how treatments are working (or not) to reduce a resident's dependency level. It can also set criteria for the number of staff members needed to manage residents’ care and assistance at any one time.
