Assessment Programme: Day Service
The service-user is invited to attend Pele Tower on a Wednesday from 10.30am to 2.30pm and is expected to take part in the daily community activities. There will be an assessment interview with the Service Manager.
After the assessment interview the service-user will meet with the community for an informal discussion about how the service-user has experienced Pele Tower in general.
The full community, consisting of current residents and staff, will meet on Friday of the same week to discuss and then make a final decision on whether the service-user is suitable or unsuitable for a placement.
Successful assessment
If it is decided that the service-user is suitable for a placement, the service-user and relevant professionals will be informed by letter and offered a start date. A placement cannot be offered until funding has been confirmed.
Unsuccessful assessment
If the assessment has not been successful, the service-user and relevant professionals will be informed in writing explaining the reasons why. A re-referral can be made within 12 weeks, up to a maximum of 3 referrals of the same individual within a year. If re-referral is inappropriate we will explain why.
