Complex Care Services

Our Community Based Complex Care Services are developed in partnership with a Local Authority and or Clinical Commissioning Group to meet an identified local demand and with specific individuals in mind, who require a high level of support to live within a community setting. These services are for individuals from that specific area to enable them to be repatriated closer to home.

These services deliver specialist care tailored to each individual’s needs, enabling residents to lead independent, meaningful lives as active members of the community. Within our services, we are able to provide support for those who have a primary diagnosis of a learning disability or who are autistic, along with providing expert nursing care and support for people with complex needs and severe behaviours of concern/distress.

Our services are designed to provide a structured setting that may suit those who are stepping down from a hospital setting or avoiding an inappropriate hospital admission. A number of the people we support will move on to more independent settings such as supported living, or their own homes, alternatively some may be supported longer.

The environments are unique and important part of the model. Care is provided in single person apartments. This enables people to live in their own space for care and support to be delivered in an environment which replicates community living more closely than a traditional group living setting.

The apartments also enable bespoke care to be delivered for the individual, and risks and behaviours to be more effectively managed. Apartments are designed around the individual with high specification, custom furniture, fixtures and fittings. In these homes, although individuals have their own apartments, they also have access to a full range of communal areas if they so wish.
