Referrers

Making a Referral

We regularly work alongside hospital discharge teams and community professionals to support individuals transitioning from acute or inpatient settings into residential care. Our team understands the importance of maintaining continuity during these transitions and works closely with professionals to ensure placements remain appropriate, safe and well coordinated.

Pre-admission assessments help us fully understand each person’s needs so that care can be planned effectively before admission. This approach supports smoother transitions and helps residents settle into the home with reassurance and consistency from the outset.

Referrals to Willowbrook Care Home begin with an initial discussion with our team so that we can understand the individual’s current needs, risks and placement objectives. Following receipt of supporting clinical information, a pre-admission assessment is arranged to ensure the service can safely and appropriately meet the person’s needs.

Once a placement has been agreed, we work closely with families, discharge teams and community professionals to coordinate admission planning and support a smooth transition into the home.
