We develop a written Care Plan for you. This is based on your goals and outlines the services we will provide so it’s clear for everyone involved.
The Care Plan doesn’t lock you in for any set period of time and you can leave whenever you want. With absolutely no exit fees.
Your Care Plan is fully flexible and we can amend it at any time depending on your needs. We will always review it with you every six months.
