MENTAL CAPACITY DECISION
Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005, staff must presume capacity unless it is clearly shown otherwise.
Capacity is not lost because of an unwise decision, and every effort must be made to support the person to decide for themselves.
This section highlights if capacity may be in doubt in certain areas of care.
Where capacity is lacking, record clear evidence and ensure any decision is made in the person’s best interests and is the least restrictive option.
Areas of Care Where Capacity May Be In Doubt:
☐ Personal Care (e.g., washing)
☐ Feeding / Nutrition
☐ Toileting / Continence
☐ Dressing
☐ Medication
☐ Finances
☐ None
