- Medical disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Information you share here is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

Who this template is for

- Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in healthcare & clinical.

- Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 31 questions across 3 screens.
- Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.
Why this form is useful
It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.
- 19 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
- It captures a phone number for urgent follow-up.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- It captures a full postal address.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

- Features conditional validation: if “Are there trip hazards in the walking route?” is Yes, “Describe the hazards” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Is medication managed independently?” is No, “Who manages medication, and how?” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features conditional validation: if “Are working smoke alarms present?” is No, “Action agreed about alarms” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
A home assessment is only useful if it records the home as well as the person. This three-page form is written to be completed on a visit. The first page covers the person and the people around them: who they live with, who provides informal support, next of kin, the services already involved and who holds a key or knows the entry arrangements. The second covers function honestly rather than optimistically — walking indoors and outdoors, stairs, transfers, washing and dressing, using the toilet, preparing food and eating, continence, memory and communication — with each answer graded by how much help is actually needed. The third page is the property: access and steps, lighting, floor coverings and trip hazards, bathroom layout, heating, working smoke alarms, stair rails and any equipment already in place, plus whether the home is warm and food is available. It closes with what the visiting clinician judges is needed and what has been agreed with the person. The record is the visit; the plan follows from it.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Complete it in the home
Hazards, lighting and bathroom layout cannot be assessed from an office, and they are the answers that change what equipment is ordered.
- 2
Grade help honestly
Independent, some help, full help is enough resolution to plan a visit rota, and it avoids the optimism that a yes-or-no question invites.
- 3
Record what was agreed, separately
Keeping the assessor's view and the person's agreement in two fields is what makes a plan reviewable later.
- 4
Route safety answers immediately
No smoke alarm, no heating or no food in the home need action that day, not at the next multidisciplinary meeting.
Mistakes to avoid
- Assessing the person and ignoring the property, then ordering equipment that will not fit the bathroom.
- Recording function as a single overall level rather than task by task.
- Leaving the agreed actions in a visit note nobody else can search.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Action the safety findings the same day, order any equipment identified, share the agreed plan with the person and the services involved, and set a review date.

Frequently asked questions
How does this relate to the Home Care Client Intake Form?
That form registers a client and captures preferences and funding. This is the clinical and environmental assessment carried out in the home, and a service normally needs both.
Can a family member complete it?
The function questions can be answered with a relative present, but the property and safety sections need a visiting assessor, which is why the form asks for their name.
Should it produce a care plan automatically?
No. It records findings and what was agreed. Building the rota and the plan is professional judgement, and the form deliberately leaves that step to a person.
How often should it be repeated?
Set a review interval based on need, and repeat the whole assessment after a hospital admission or a fall, since both change the picture the form captured.
Is the Home Health Assessment template free to use?
Yes. You can preview and test Home Health Assessment on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

Can I edit the Home Health Assessment form after copying it?
Yes — the copy is entirely yours. Change wording, add or remove questions, switch between the classic and card layouts, restyle it to match your brand, and set who gets notified on each submission.
