How can I use the centre?
Users must meet the council’s ‘eligibility
criteria’ for receiving a service.
Placement at the centre can only be offered following an
assessment by a Social Worker. The assessment is to clarify the
individual’s needs and ensure the authority's eligibility
criteria is met. Also a diagnosis by a Psychiatrist of the
individual’s moderate to severe Dementia. If the assessments
confirm the need for Day Care placement, referral/Care Plan is
passed to the day centre.
Anybody can refer someone who they think is in need of care and
support to adult services for an assessment. This includes family
members, carers, doctors and potential services users
themselves.
To make a new referral call the Social Care Contact Team
on 020 7364 5005.
