Before an application is made to the day centre, a social work assessment needs to be completed. This is to make sure that we provide the right support to the people who need it most. Once an application has been received a staff member of the day centre will contact you to arrange a home visit to discuss your needs and give you more information about the services offered at the day centre.
This person will become your keyworker if you proceed with your application. The keyworker will advocate on your behalf and develop a plan of care with you to meet your needs at the day centre.
This may involve liaising with your carer, social worker, family and other professionals such as doctors and district nurses. We will review your care plan with you.
