Care Home Trusted Assessors
Care Home Trusted Assessors (CHTA) provide a full, honest, independent and factual assessment to care homes and home care agencies and act as a representative for the provider.
The CHTA does not assess the suitability of providers but simply acts on behalf of the provider.
- Decisions on placements are made as normal by the social worker and clinical discharge practitioners in conjunction with the patient and their families, ensuring choice.
- When a patient returns to a placement the Adult Social Care team (ASC) at the hospital is required to carry out a placement review to ensure that the placement is still suitable. The CHTA liaises with the ASC to ensure this has been done. The provider can then determine from the information supplied in the assessment if it can meet the person’s needs and if it will accept the return or placement.
