Most referrals arrive at an awkward moment: a discharge planned for tomorrow, or a district nurse who has noticed the tablets are not being taken. We take referrals from GPs, district nurses, therapy and discharge teams, social workers and Kirklees Council commissioners, and from adults and families referring themselves. You do not need a professional to refer you.
Name, address, telephone, date of birth and household
In the person's own home, at no cost, covering needs, risks, medicines and what the person wants
We assess on the ward or the same day at home, and tell you within hours if we cannot safely take it
Our Registered Manager or a senior assessor contacts the person or their representative to arrange a free assessment visit
Agreed before anything starts, so nobody is invoiced for an unseen figure
We say so quickly rather than holding a referral open
If the person has not yet had a Care Act assessment, the route is Kirklees Council adult social care on 0300 304 5555, Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 4.45pm, or online at my.kirklees.gov.uk, which is quickest outside office hours. The Emergency Duty Team is 07934 583993. A council assessment is free and worth doing even where someone will fund their own care.
