A friendly first conversation
Tell us about the person who may need support, what is changing and what matters most. We will explain our scope and whether an assessment is the right next step.
Doctor led care at homeDiscuss care How care starts
We do not rush into care. Our assessment process helps everyone understand what support is needed and whether we are the right provider.
Start a conversationTell us about the person who may need support, what is changing and what matters most. We will explain our scope and whether an assessment is the right next step.
We explore health and wellbeing, daily routines, mobility, communication, medication, home risks, capacity and consent, personal goals and family involvement.
We document the agreed support, preferred routines, risks, outcomes and how care should be delivered. Care plans are reviewed through our leadership and governance process at regular intervals.
We consider skills, availability, communication and personal preferences when arranging the carers who will provide support.
Digital care records help us monitor visits. We review care when needs change and keep appropriate contact with families and professionals.
Consent and choice
We seek valid consent, provide information in an understandable way and follow Mental Capacity Act principles where a person may have difficulty making a particular decision. Any best-interest process should remain person-centred and involve the appropriate people.
A warm, straightforward conversation is the first step.
