Key contract terms - admissios, occupancy, termination of contract

When people move in they have one month built into their occupancy agreement to decide whether "this is the place for them". This first month provides an opportunity for staff to get to know the individual resident and their family, and to identify their wants and preferred ways of living, e.g. the time they like to get up in the morning and retire to bed.

During this period the person’s care and support requirements are also assessed and discussed, and developed into an agreed plan. This will include discussion and assessment of any risks to which the resident or staff may be exposed as a result of making their own choices and decisions. It also includes discussion, with the agreement of the resident, with any relatives or representatives who may be involved about the person’s care needs and plans. The aim is achieve a plan of care with which everyone is happy.
