A useful conversation before their first stay.

Their first introduction begins with the details you can share. Tell us what feels familiar, how they respond to new people and anything you would like to talk through before planning a stay.

Discuss the service, suitability and the next step together. We agree the introduction and any later stay separately; requesting one does not automatically confirm the other.

The details to bring to the conversation.

Specific, everyday observations help us ask the right questions. Nothing needs to be perfect before you get in touch.

  • Experience of being away from home and meeting new people
  • Usual meals, rest and handling preferences
  • Questions to discuss and your preferred introduction date
