What Next?
Under government regulations, potential residents are required to have their needs thoroughly assessed before entering a care home; this is intended to provide potential residents with the best information on which to make an informed choice about their future.
If you are already in touch with Social Services or Social Work department, the initial assessment will be undertaken as part of the care management process, but we also need to assure ourselves and you that our care home is suitable for you, your health and social care needs.
We would suggest you contact either Andrea (St John's House) or Sandra (The Millings) who will be able to explain the process in more detail. Please feel free to involve family, friends or other representatives in the meetings with the manager and visiting the home.
All new residents are admitted on the basis of a four week trial period, in order to establish if the home will suit the residents' needs and preferences. If we feel that our homes are not suitable for your particular requirements then we will try to give you advice on how to look for help elsewhere.
