Admission Process
Our admission process is designed to be simple and straightforward to help you make the move into our home as worry free as possible. The process can be completed very quickly if necessary, often within a few days.
The process consists of the 6 stages:
A referral can be made either by a local authority, a family member or by yourself. To make a referral please contact the team at Stanfield House Nursing Home on 01905 420 459 and speak to a member of the team.
It is recommended that you visit Stanfield House Nursing Home to meet us all and we would be more than happy to give you a tour of the home. You will also have the opportunity to meet and talk to our residents, carers and also ask us any questions you have regarding our facilities. If this is not possible due to whatever reason then we can provide you with a virtual tour or some photographs.
Should you wish to reside in our home, an experienced and qualified member of our management team will visit you at your home to carry out a care needs assessment calling on any specialist advice and reports as necessary. This is an essential process to allow us to identify that our care home is the best place for you and that the service provided is one that will support and meet your needs and requirements.
This will form the basis of our own assessment and will be supplemental to our own assessment.
For those persons working with their local social services team to find a new home, an initial assessment will be undertaken by a social worker. This will form that basis of our own assessment and will be supplemental to our own assessment.
Our assessment criteria will cover a full range of health and social needs to ensure we know as much as possible about each individual. It is important that as much information as available is provided during this process. All information will of course be treated with the utmost confidentially. The assessment process helps our care team to build an appropriate support plan for each individual. It is important that as much information as possible is provided during this process .
We will provide all enquiries with as much information as possible about our home to help them make a decision. We encourage you to visit the home to help you make a decision. We are happy for a prospective residents to involve their friends, family or other representatives in seeing the home and the facilities we can provide before making the final decision about admission.
In the event that our assessment process identifies that our home is not suitable for you, we will try to offer advice on how to look for help in a more appropriate setting.
Having identified that the home is appropriate and all parties have agreed to proceed with the placement, We will provide you with our “Contract ” and we will agree on a mutually convenient date for the placement to commence and the fees will be discussed.
You will be advised on what to bring with you prior to your admission date. For further guidance on what to bring please do not hesitate to contact us. Furniture and other larger personal effects can be moved in prior to admission if agreed in advance. Upon admission, our care team will work to make you as comfortable as possible in your new environment.
We work with our resident and their next of kin (if desired) to create the personalised care plan. This Care Plan details the care that is required by an individual and provides our care team with the information required to meet their required care needs and lifestyle choices. While we value the important involvement of family and friends into this process, the best interests of the person joining us, their choices, views or needs will always take precedence. The Care Plan is continually developed and reviewed, with each resident, their family, friends and other professionals involved in the individual’s care and wellbeing.
The first four weeks of any placement is seen as a trial period after which a review will be held to ensure all parties are completely satisfied. Individual Care Plans are discussed between the resident, their family and the home management team and any changes are noted and agreed upon accordingly.
