There is usually a six-week trial period after you move into a care home, to make sure that it is the right place to meet your needs, and that you are happy there. If during this period you decide that it's not suitable for you, you can consider other options.
Care agencies will usually have a list of tasks the care workers can carry out. The agency will work with you to develop a personal care plan. This will instruct the care workers of the tasks that will be carried out each day. The care plan will look at the health, social care and level of support needed.
Agencies carry out reviews on a regular basis. If you feel your needs have changed and would like to be reviewed contact the agency to arrange this.
