Referrals
Referrals should be made by care teams, health professionals or other support services. To make a referral, we need the following information:
-
Recent risk assessment
-
Care Plan
-
Support Plan
-
Other information, including a psychiatric report, an occupational therapist's report, or a social circumstances report.
Every referral is considered on an individual basis. However, we do require that the people referred will benefit from a structured and personalised therapeutic program.
Once we have received and reviewed a referral, we will arrange an assessment and invite prospective residents to meet the community.
We aim to respond to all enquiries within 24 hours and offer an initial assessment within 5 days. However, factors such as more complex referrals and delays from funding panel decisions may affect the length of the process.
Fees and funding
Our placements are cost-effective, with the average weekly cost up to half the cost of NHS inpatient provision, and less than a quarter of the cost of private provision.
Placements are typically funded through the resident's local authority or the NHS. Fees depend on the community and the level of support required. Please contact our referrals team for our latest fee table.
Self-funding & referrals
It is possible to self-fund a placement with a CHT community. Please contact us by email or on 020 7381 5888, to discuss your requirements.
