Referrals and Assessments
Referrals and Assessments
We have a dedicated and experienced Assessment and Placement Manager who oversees all referrals and person centred assessments into Marcus and Marcus. They work closely with our PBS and Operational Colleagues to ensure a responsive and robust approach.
We have a wide range of sources that come to us for referrals:
- Health and Social Care Professionals
- By individuals looking to leave their family homes for the first time
- Individuals’ parents/adult acting on their behalf
Our assessment process:
Our goal is to ensure that we can offer a placement where the individual will be supported and can achieve the most positive outcomes.
When assessing individual cases, we are looking at the following:
- We assess the person’s individual needs, preferences and aspirations
- Capable Environment considerations
- Where they’d like to live
- Who they’d like to live with
- What is important in their lives
- We would also look at any potential risks and assess any ways we can ensure that the individual feels safe and that our team members also feel safe when providing the individuals care and support
We want to ensure that we are able to help the individual to reach their full potential while leading a safe, happy and fulfilled life at the same time.
When all parties agree on sourcing an appropriate placement. We can also offer advice on accessing benefits/funding. Once the funding is agreed, a transition plan is developed, tailored to the individual’s unique needs.
We have a customer information “Access to Service” booklet which explains more about Marcus and Marcus and how we can support. This booklet is available as Easy To Read guide.
We do not accept ’emergency admissions’ we believe a large part of our success is rooted in building support packages based on planned, structured and individualised transition.
