Admissions Criteria
Admission criteria, including emergency admissions
The Home’s statement on admission is included in our Admissions Policy. For the purpose of this Statement, all enquiries for planned (non-emergency) admissions should be referred to Care Manager (or the Deputy in her absence). In any enquiry we ask that the resident or and their representative make an initial visit to the home and to discuss individual requirements, wishes and needs.
