Who is nursing care for?

Nursing care is for anyone that has a chronic health condition or complex care needs that means they need regular assistance from a specialist team. This will usually involve at least two carers, a clinical nurse, local care manager and other health care professionals, such as district nurses and occupational therapists. This type of care can be on a long-term basis or shorter if you are coming towards the end of life.

These health conditions may be something that the individual has lived with all of their life or may have occurred after an accident or illness. With our friendly and empathetic carers, you can rest assured that you will be in the hands of someone that truly does care about your emotional and physical wellbeing, aiming to keep you as comfortable as possible at home in the familiarity and safety of your own environment.
