What is appointment support?

Need a little extra support getting to and from appointments? Could do with a second set of eyes on the calendar, to help you stay on top of dates and times?

We offer appointment support, helping you to take control of your health and gain greater independence. No more feeling confused by doctor’s notes. No more being overwhelmed by medication management.

Who is appointment support for?

At Walfinch, we believe care should never hold you back – it should help you do more, for longer. Maximise your days and discover more time to do the things you love. 

You could benefit from appointment support if you:

  • Are recovering from a recent stay in hospital
  • Find it difficult to manage and take medications
  • Often miss healthcare appointments
  • Find it difficult to travel to and from your appointments 
  • Would appreciate additional emotional support
  • Have ongoing appointments for a chronic condition

Your care plan, your roadmap to thrive

Care Assessment:

Before beginning care, we can conduct a friendly care assessment, which involves coming to your home to meet you and your family – this helps us gain a better understanding of your individual situation.

Care Plan:

From there, we will produce a care plan. We see this as your roadmap to thrive! It includes information about your health, needs and preferences – as well as your routines and personal goals.

Ongoing updates:

This plan will be regularly reviewed and updated, allowing your care to remain tailored to you. This helps both you and your family remain assured that any changes to your health and wellbeing can be responded to straight away.

My dad, who is 88 this year, has always been very independent and active, but in recent years, house chores have become too much for him… We’re so happy that he now has a companion, is looked after, and never misses his medication or NHS appointments.

Your questions, answered by us

Expert answers to your frequently asked questions about learning disability care.

A learning disability, also known as intellectual disability, may affect a person’s ability to learn new things and cope with everyday tasks. This condition typically begins before adulthood and can range in severity from mild to profound.

We’re all different – so why should all your home care options be the same? At Walfinch, we’re proud to accommodate the needs of our individual clients, working with them to help them pursue their interests. Whatever it is that makes you thrive, our expert care staff are here to help you achieve it.

This depends entirely on your situation. If you’re unsure what kind of care you need, we can carry out a short, informal care assessment. This means, we get to know you a little more about you and speak to your family members in your home. Together, we can work out what care plan best reflects you.

This depends on the kind of care you receive. Many of our clients get visits from multiple carers, others prefer to have just one person on a regular basis. Whether you meet more or less of our care team, our carers are all equally aware of your needs and preferences. Your thriving is always in mind!

Depending on your availability, we can carry out a friendly care assessment and match you with our care team members very quickly. To find out more, feel free to contact our local branch.

Our carers undergo comprehensive training in a range of learning disabilities, equipping them to support you to thrive. Beyond care training, we also try to match you with carers that share similar interests as yourself and can best get on with you. These important details will be written into your care plan and members of our care team will be matched accordingly.

We train our carers in-house, the Walfinch way. They undergo comprehensive training so that they can care for people with a wide range of needs. We have very high standards regarding training – meaning our carers must pass a series of in-person examinations, training sessions and online learning before helping people in their own homes.

A care plan contains all the relevant information our carers need to understand and cater to your individual needs. It is created off the back of care assessments, which may be carried out on an ongoing basis, to ensure all your information and requirements are up to date. We view your care plan as your roadmap to thrive.
