At Silverdale we welcome enquires from those seeking permanent, temporary, or respite/holiday placements. Day Care Servies are also provided. Prior to admission, every patient has a pre-assessment completed by the home-owner or Home Manager. All patients come via the Health and Social Care Trusts who also complete a nursing and financial assessment. Fees can be discussed during the initial enquiry.
