It is important to understand the circumstances and needs of the individual for admission and to organise appropriate treatment to support them in a return to better health and wellbeing.
Individuals who make applications for admission should normally be capable of independently undertaking the ‘Activities of Daily Living’ including self-care and self-medication. However each and every application will be sympathetically considered as a ‘significant and unique’ case and account will be taken of the support that an individual could themselves marshal to assist their circumstances e.g. accompanied by a ‘companion’ e.g. spouse/partner, son/daughter; friend.
General Conditions:
• All applications for treatment must be submitted on the Charity’s current application form.
• Applications for admission must be supported by evidence of a clinical need that can be addressed by the Charity’s treatment.
• Applications for a further admission should not normally be made until at least 12 months has elapsed since a previous admission unless clinical team recommend, a significant change in condition has been seen or new circumstance/condition.
Due to demand on our services we do not accept patients for ‘Respite’, when no active treatment is required, e.g. after minor operations or illness. Each patient requires a clear need of clinical services input in order to be admitted.
