Newfoundland and Labrador's regional health authorities use this 28-page tool to assess an adult's needs under the Long Term Care and Community Support Program, from home support and respite to personal care and long-term care homes. An assessor documents health, cognition, daily living, behaviour and environment, then records the level of care required. The client's primary physician is consulted for diagnoses and screening referrals.
A regional health authority assessor completes and signs it, recording their name and profession, with the client and family taking part. The client's primary physician may be asked to confirm diagnoses and receives referrals when a chest x-ray is needed or tuberculosis is suspected.

The regional health authority's assessor, who records their name and profession and works through it with the client and family. The program's reference manual tells assessors to consult the client's primary physician when diagnoses are unknown, and to refer to the physician when a chest x-ray is needed or tuberculosis symptoms are present.
According to the reference manual, the full Adult Needs Assessment is completed at the initial assessment and whenever there is a significant change in the client's condition while services are still needed. The shorter Adult Needs Reassessment is completed annually, and only when there is minimal or no change and services are still required.
It is the single-entry assessment for home support services, respite care, personal care homes, long-term care homes, alternate family care, board and lodging, independent living arrangements and other residential options. The assessor matches documented needs to available services and records recommended home support hours, respite and placement preferences.
