Comentis uniquely provides an easy-to-use online mental capacity assessment which ensures care providers can consistently and objectively identify if a service user is at risk of reduced mental capacity and provide assurance that they have the required level of understanding, retention and evaluative skills for the decision at hand.
Our aim is to relieve pressure on staff and overcome lack of staff confidence in assessing mental capacity
Each assessment can be discretely integrated into your existing processes and provides an immediate, person-centred assessment of capacity. All assessments are fully compliant with the relevant legislative requirements and gives care providers an opportunity to standardise the quality of their mental capacity assessments, ensuring consistency across staff members. A full, contemporaneous report is provided on completion of the assessment, allowing for easy internal and external auditing.
​
We have developed a growing number of decision specific mental capacity assessments, covering care and clinical needs including consent to taking medication and consent to use of equipment.
