TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF PLACEMENT/ ADMISSION PROCEDURES

A. Upon placement or decision to reside, the degree of care necessary will be fully discussed with the Service User, Family members, Carer or Social Worker, to agree and decide what the proposed Service user is able to do for herself/himself and what assistance will be required from the staff at Brookwood Manor Residential Care Home. All care needs agreed at the time of placement will be included within the fees payable. Note:- Should care needs significantly increase it may be necessary to meet with all parties See paragraph B.

B. The first four weeks after a Service User enters The Brookwood Manor are on a long term basis (permanent), will be mutually recognised as a trial period. This will allow the Service User to have a change of mind and see how the new Service User is fitting into the surroundings.
