What is complex care?

So, what is complex care? Complex care is sometimes referred to as long-term live-in care or continuing complex care. As the name suggests, this type of care is more complicated, and you should only employ professionally trained complex carers who are proficient in specific caring methods. We would recommend that you should be very confident when hiring a live-in carer for this and we can help you find the right person.  Carers will help with a wide range of conditions, and if you don’t see what you are looking for please view the conditions we care for.

How do our complex care services work?

Our complex care service is a cost-effective alternative to care within a nursing, fully managed service or a residential care home. We can provide individuals with carers who are highly experienced live-in carers, who can support a wide range of complex care needs to make sure you or your loved one can remain living in the comfort of their own home.

What conditions can our complex care services cater for?

We work closely with individuals, families and healthcare professionals to help find the right carer for you to employ directly.
