IMCA involvement in accommodation decisions and care reviews

Other records which may be requested by IMCAs

In addition to the local authority care assessments and care plans there are a range of other documents which may be relevant to the IMCAs work. These include:

assessments, including specialist assessments by physiotherapists, speech and language therapists or occupational therapists
care plans produced by the service provider which identify how it will meet the person's needs
the information brochures provided by care providers
daily logs which typically record the support that has been provided, which can be very useful in assisting care reviews to evidence whether what is set out in the care plan has been met.
