Referrals for Day Services can be made
by contacting your Social Services
Office. GP’s and other health care
professionals can also make referrals.
Following your initial referral you will
receive community care assessment to
identify your individual needs. If this
states that you require Day Services, a
member of staff from Castleview Day
Services will contact you when a place
becomes available.
The staff will arrange to visit you at
home and can also organise a visit to
the Day Service. Should you decide to
attend you will be offered suitable days.
How do I get there?
Transport may be provided if required, your
Single Shared Assessment will identify
whether you require transport to and from
the Day Centre.
However, your own
preferred method of transport may be more
suitable for your individual needs.
