An initial My Life Assessment is required prior to anyone commencing Day Services. Once referred, the staff from the Day Services will carry out a home visit, this is mainly to establish mobility status, what equipment is used, transport requirements and to carry out a risk assessment.
It is important that people have transport to and from the day centre of their choice. To facilitate a good transport service, it has been agreed to ensure a service is provided that offers much needed respite for families and carers. The buses will leave the centre each morning at 10am and leave to take clients home again at 5pm. There will be staff in the centre from 9am should families need to drop their loved one off early.
