Hayfield Ltd Charity No. SC00436
 

Prospective male and female applicants should be 16 years and over.  Referrals are generally made by social workers, but can come via hospitals or by self-referral.  

The decision to accept a particular referral is made by a panel of senior staff after careful consideration of all relevant documentation.  

The referral process is outlined on the following documents:

• Admission Criteria

• Assessment and Care Planning   

Please DOWNLOAD a Hayfield Service User Application Pack if you wish to make a referral to us.

• Front Cover Page

• Admission Form

• Medical Details

• Administration Agreement

Please download all four PDF documents for printing.  When completed please return to the postal address on the front cover page.

All candidates are invited for a six-week assessment.  This enables staff in both the residential and day care sections, to work with the prospective applicant and make a detailed assessment and care plan with extensive recommendations.  The six week period has a dual purpose, as it also allows the prospective service user to get to know what is available and to get a feel for whether or not they would be able to comfortably settle down and gain from such a placement.  The prospective candidate, referring agency and assessment staff meet together toward the end of the six week assessment and decide the way forward.  Detailed documentation is completed, outlining the findings of the assessment period.

If the prospective applicant decides to take up the place offered, they are given a Conditions of Stay document.  

This outlines what Hayfield offers, the expectations from the individual and gives information to help the new service user settle into their surroundings.  If required, staff explain the contents of such written material in British Sign Language (BSL) and other non-verbal / visual mediums, in order to assist comprehension.

Following admission, the placement of each individual is reviewed at least twice yearly and comprehensive documents about their progress, including a risk assessment are provided to them and their referring agency.

If you wish to make an enquiry about a potential referral for any of our services please contact a member of our management team for further information or download the referral application pack shown above.
