Capacity Assessment

Why Choose a Joint Capacity Assessment?

• Two Assessor Consensus: The dual-assessor model ensures that the final decision is made by consensus, reducing bias and improving confidence in the assessment’s outcome.

• Virtual and In-Person Assessments: We provide flexibility by offering both virtual assessments and, on a case-by-case basis, in-person assessments. In-person assessments may include visits to an individual’s residence, living care facility, or group home, and additional fees may apply depending on the location and circumstances.

• Professional Expertise: With years of experience, Malissa Veroni and Carrie Taks bring a wealth of knowledge in assessing personal and financial capacity.
