The first day is a big moment. Knowing who will welcome you can make it feel a little less unfamiliar.
An agreed arrival plan gives the person and family a clearer picture of who will meet them and what the first few hours involve.
A practical way to begin
There may be practical conversations to complete, but the person should not feel that arrival is only paperwork. Ask how they will be introduced to the room, team and immediate routine.
Your discussion checklist
- Confirm the time directly with the home
- Ask who will welcome the person
- Agree where belongings should go
- Clarify how essential care information will be handed over
Before you take the next step
Before leaving, agree the next contact and how the first update will happen. An arrival date needs to be agreed directly after the assessment and practical arrangements are complete.
