What to Expect If Your Referral is Accepted:

• Ongoing Care: Acceptance for an assessment does not guarantee ongoing treatment. Your care depends entirely on your clinical condition, and you may be discharged at any point after your initial consultation.
• Home Visits: Home visits are only offered if you meet one of the following criteria:
  • You are terminally ill.
  • You are bedbound.
  • You are completely housebound and unable to travel without support (if you can leave the house for GP, hospital, or social appointments, you will be expected to attend a clinic).
• Environment Safety: If a clinician decides your home environment is not suitable for treatment, you will be offered an appointment at a local clinic instead.
