Unity Health & Care
How our Health & Care processes workHow does the process work?
Once you have contacted Unity, the service manager will contact you and arrange a convenient time to visit you at home to complete an assessment of your individual support needs. You are welcome to have any friends or family present during any of the visits.
We will discuss the type of support you would like Unity to provide, and how we can best deliver the support based on your individual assessment. We will also discuss suitable days and times, and the support worker who will be supporting you. It will also be an opportunity to answer any questions you may have.
After the initial assessment, we will draw up a support plan tailored to your individual support needs, and any risk assessments that may be needed to provide your support safely.
The service manager will then visit you again with your allocated support worker to go through your support plan with you. If you are happy with the plan and any accompanying risk assessments, we will ask you to sign them to say you are in agreement with the plan. We will also ask you to sign a service contract before your support commences.
A client pack will be kept in your house containing a copy of your support plan, risk assessments, your contract and other useful information relating to the delivery of our service.
