After You Submit

What Happens to a Referral

  1. Acknowledgement

    An automatic email confirmation is issued on receipt.

  2. Review: Within 24 to 48 hours

    The referral is assessed against current availability: level of care, medications, mobility, dietary requirements, cognition and any behaviours requiring planning.

  3. A Direct Answer

    We respond by phone or email with a determination, or with the specific questions outstanding. Where our homes are not an appropriate setting we advise promptly and state the reason rather than leaving a referral pending.

  4. Assessment and Visit

    Where the placement is appropriate we assess the client in their current setting (hospital, home or facility) and invite the family to tour the home prior to any commitment.

  5. Service Plan and Move-in

    The individual service plan is completed prior to admission so that care is delivered correctly from the first day.

What Helps Us Answer Faster

  • Diet and swallowing requirements
  • Cognition, wandering risk and known behaviors
  • Target discharge or move-in date
  • Funding source and who holds decision-making authority
