Referrals

Refer someone who needs care

This form is for anyone referring another person for care at home: family members, friends and neighbours, GPs and practice staff, district nurses, hospital discharge teams and social workers.

  • Families: tell us about your relative, we’ll handle everything gently from there
  • Professionals: we respond promptly and can assess quickly for discharge-critical cases
  • Flexecare staff: you can also use this form to refer someone you’re concerned about

Consent matters. Wherever possible, please make the referral with the knowledge and agreement of the person needing care. We’ll always involve them fully and respect their choices from first contact.

We make contact

We speak with you and (with their agreement) the person needing care, usually within one working day.

Free assessment

A senior carer visits to understand needs and design a personalised plan, with family or professionals involved as appropriate.

Care begins

Once the plan is approved, matched care staff are introduced and care starts, with updates to whoever should be kept informed.
