Admissions and Referrals

Preadmission Assessment: To determine suitability of a referral, there will be a preadmission assessment, which involve the referring agency providing a comprehensive chronology, up to date risk assessment as well as an assessment of the service user. The Registered Manager will undertake an initial assessment to determine suitability for the service. A significant factor for admission to the service will be the motivation of the service user to engage in continued support and treatment and therapeutic activities and other service users.

Clients interested in coming to ROXY AVENUE are encouraged to visit the Home and sample the atmosphere and level of service. We recognise that the decision to move into a care home can be emotional for the person and their family, therefore, we aim to support people through this process by giving them as much information as possible and answering all their questions and ensuring the home welcoming and open.

Care Pathway: Prior to admission, a full-needs assessment of the service user and a bespoke care plan and risk assessment is prepared and reviewed in detail, with the referring commissioning entity. Following admission, this care plan is reviewed and updated accordingly. Every pathway is individualised although we aim to support transition to support living or independent living.
