Referrals for home care services
Thank you for considering using GPAHRC Nelson. You can self-refer to use our services. You can also refer someone with their consent. We, however, recommend you to complete our online referral form using the link located below.
Assessment and Care Planning
We will then arrange to meet you to discuss your needs and expectations. We will assess your needs and work in partnership to agree on how we can meet those needs.
A person-centred support plan is then written up, showing the required interventions to meet your needs. A care plan is a detailed account of duties the support worker must perform when visiting you. We will then allocate a regular worker or a set of workers depending on your needs. We will introduce you to other workers in case your regular worker or workers are unavailable for reasons such as annual leave and sickness.
Our aim to provide support as agreed in your care plan, enabling you to feel confident, supported, reassured, and satisfied. We aim to involve you and your family (with consent) in any aspect of your care.
GPAHRC Nelson promises to always listen to you, be open and honest with you and work towards continually improving our services. We aim to be sensitive to the potential loss of dignity and privacy associated with having people visiting your home. GPAHRC Nelson aims to ensure that every person being cared for is given respect as a unique individual, regardless of status, gender, religion, age, race, culture, language and ability to contribute to the community.
