The Social worker, Care co-ordinator, Community Mental Health Nurse or a member of the professional care team may call us directly to discuss whether we have any vacancies. We would subsequently send them an official application form, which must be completed in full and returned to us. Once this has been received we would conduct an assessment of the service user’s needs to ascertain whether we could offer the kind of support the prospective service user requires.
All service users undergo a pre-admission assessment, which is conducted by the home manager. The findings of the pre-admission assessment and reports from the referring agency including psychiatric history, risk assessment of needs and care plans are discussed with the care team to ensure the home can meet the individual needs. The support staff would only accept a new referral applicant if they feel the home could adequately meet their needs as determined through the assessment.
