Criteria for Admission
Admission Procedure
Prior to admission, an individual and personal
assessment* may be
carried out by a Social Worker and/or Health Professional in conjunction
with
the Homes Manager. This is necessary to ascertain and ensure that the
Home
is able to meet the individuals current care needs.
However, where a client is providing their own funding, the Homes Manager
can conduct (if required) this assessment without reference to Social Services.
There are however certain circumstances, possibly due to emergency or
individual special circumstances, where an assessment may not be carried
out prior to admission.
In these circumstances, a full assessment will be carried out within 48
hours of admission.
Please note that at any stage of the assessment process, admission to
the Home may be refused if the assessment indicates that the needs of the
individual cannot be met. We will advise in writing.
* Preadmission Assessment – Prior to admission the homes Manager
or Deputy, will visit the prospective client at their current residence,
in order to discuss and evaluate care needs and or individual requirements
to ascertain the home can meet these needs. This is also a opportunity for
open discussion regarding any queries.
