What is nursing care?
Nursing care is a specialist package of support delivered by specially trained carers and overseen by a qualified clinical nurse. This type of care is typically more complex in its nature, requiring specialist support for certain health care needs.
Nursing care at home can enable someone living with a complex health condition to continue living in their own home, without having to move into residential care. This allows them to retain the familiarity and safety of their own possessions and surroundings, and even enabling them to still live with a partner, spouse or pet
Live-in care is usually the preferred option for nursing care
Live-in care is usually the preferred option for nursing care, as it means that a carer can live with you in your home and be on hand whenever you need support. They will be matched with you for your health condition, personality and hobbies, so that you can build a rapport with your carer and perhaps even see them as an extended member of the family. For complex care, there will also be support from our local branch teams to cover your live-in carer’s breaks and also assist with any care needs that require more than one person, for example, hoisted transfers.
At Youffy, we work alongside companies and individuals in your local area to arrange packages of complex care. We also work with other health professionals such as district nurses and social workers to ensure that you have the right level of support in place for your health requirements.
