Formulate for Adult Social Care

Formulate for Adult Social Care has been designed to enable local authorities to calculate fair, accurate and consistent estimated PBs for adults with eligible needs under the Care Act who have been assessed as requiring longer-term care and support.

There is a complaints process in place. See: https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/w/how-to-complain-about-social-care-services?p_l_back_url=%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dcomplain

The model input is known as the Formulate Needs Profile - a set of enumerated questions which quantify an adult's strengths and needs (primarily in relation to the Care Act eligibility criteria) - and the degree to which their needs can sustainably be met by unpaid carer(s) - along with the nature of their ongoing living situation.
