Procedure for RISE SW15

Regenerate-RISE takes referrals from Social Services, GPs, Sheltered Housing Wardens, Occupational Therapists, Hospitals and Families and the correct Referral Form needs to be completed. For RISE SW15, our Day Services, one of our staff will then telephone the person within 48 hrs to arrange a visit to see whether they are suitable for our service or ask whether they would like to attend for a trial day. The main criteria for someone to attend Regenerate-RISE is that they are over 60 years of age and are either isolated or at risk of isolation. If we are able to offer transport, the person has to be able to transfer from a wheelchair to a minibus seat. The only people we cannot provide a service for are those with Dementia who may wander, as we do not have a locked door policy. We welcome people with disabilities, but do not provide lifting equipment for people who need to get out of their wheelchair.  We do not generally provide personal care either.

We believe very much that the integration of able-bodied with disabled people is very important as it brings an empathy and support for one another. It increases a tolerance and understanding of disabilities as well as a compassionate and caring attitude between the peer group.

"We want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the amazing support you are giving our Mum.  The relief at knowing you are all there and caring so much for her both practically and emotionally can't be expressed.  You are all second to none and more appreciated than we can possibly say.  Thank you"
