PAPILLON ADMISSIONS

Are we the right fit for you?

Now that you’ve got to know us better, you’re probably wondering if we can help you?

Before we admit a new resident, we want to know if they’re able to benefit from the treatment methods we offer. That’s why we ask to meet with every potential resident face-to-face or virtually before admission.

So do us a favour and run through our admissions and exclusionary criteria, as well as our payment plan before scheduling a call. It’s our way of saving you time.

Admissions Criteria

We require that residents are medically stable. They also need to admit themselves voluntarily.

Further to this all residents must be:

  • 18 years or older
  • Able to move independently
  • Able to administer their own medication under staff supervision
  • Able to participate in treatments and services
  • Free of medical conditions that require 24 hour care or nursing
  • Able to maintain personal hygiene and grooming standards under staff supervision
  • Able to interact in social situations with others under staff supervision
  • Able to carry out designated household chores and look after basic every day needs under staff supervision

Important Exclusionary Criteria

Under what circumstances would we exclude someone from being admitted to Papillon?

  • Anyone with a major medical condition that requires around-the-clock care or nursing.
  • People who pose an uncontrolled or imminent danger to themselves or others (suicidal, aggressive, or self-injuring) and require continuous supervision
  • Anyone who is unable to communicate verbally, or who has a severe physical impairment
  • People who display ongoing inappropriate behaviour which is harmful to themselves and others, and that has the ability to disrupt the day-to-day functioning of Papillon
  • Persons with any charges of, or convictions for, the perpetration of sexual assault or sexual abuse or who have been diagnosed as having these tendencies
  • Any person who has exhibited recent fire-setting behaviour

Paying for your or your loved one’s stay?

We understand that private care can be costly. So while we do prefer payment upfront, you can speak to our team about arranging a payment plan.

Here is what you need to know:

  • Papillon is a private residential treatment facility
  • Cash rates apply and fees are payable at the beginning of each month
  • We are not government subsidised
  • Nor are we associated with any medical aid. However, medication and psychiatrist visits are payable through medical aid
  • Our treatment programmes are tax-deductible for employers
