We have no fixed criteria for qualification for our services. Each Resident’s needs are assessed and if they have a requirement falling within our range of expertise, we will endeavour to meet those requirements, in agreement with other social care professionals and their family.

Payment for our services can come from social services departments, primary care trusts, charities, the Independent Living Fund, CCGs, funded nursing care or privately. 

The funding authority is then sent a written proposal outlining the agreed care package and fee. Once an individual has been accepted, and funding has been agreed, the Resident is provided with a moving in date. A full set of care plans can then be developed with the resident within the first month of residency.
