Complex care 

What is Complex care?

Complex care is specialist support that is tailored the client's individual needs, it is outcome focused and tailored to meet the needs of someone with a chronic or long-term health condition. As a result of the condition, the person requires extra assistance to manage their symptoms and daily activities to live as independently as possible within their home enjoying a higher quality of life.

Our complex care services provide the client with the support they need to thrive independently while living in their home. We believe positive company and developing a consistent routine helps to manage these conditions better.

 

Complex care can include any condition that requires clinical support, such as Parkinson’s, acquired brain injury, spinal injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, motor neuron disease and other neurological conditions. Interventions required can include PEG feeding, Continence Care (catheter care and stoma care), ventilator care, tracheostomy care, airway clearance etc. Please see below for more detailed information about any of our complex care packages.

Our expert medical professionals provide specialist training for our Care Professionals who also undergo regular competency checks on their knowledge and clinical skills to ensure you are receiving the optimum level of care at all times.

Our Complex Care services are designed to help people live happy, independent, fulfilled lives at home while dealing with long-term medical condition.
