A pre-admission assessment ensures that Sibbertoft Manor will fully meet the needs of each prospective resident. This will involve an assessment of the level of dependency, the resident’s history and personal preferences together with any specialist health care needs that may be required. These may include, but are not limited to, physical disability levels or sensory impairments, self-care needs and abilities, medication requirement, mental health or behavioural needs. We only offer a place if we are sure we can fully meet the requirements of each individual.
The prospective resident will always be invited to visit the Home. If this is not possible, the care manager or her representative will make a visit to conduct the pre-assessment. Information will always be sought from relatives, medical personnel and previous carers. The prospective resident, their relatives and representatives, will always be invited to contribute views to assist in generating a truly individual plan detailing care requirements. Where information is held by Sibbertoft Manor regarding an individual resident it will always be made available to the resident upon request. Exchange of confidential information between health professionals will be discussed with the resident beforehand. A review will be held after one month involving the care manager, the resident and relatives or representatives as appropriate. Care plans will be reviewed regularly and residents and their relatives will be invited to complete Quality Assurance questionnaires to ensure that their views are fully recognised.
