Infants and Children
​
For many parents having their child receive care at home whether they have a long-term illness, condition, disability or sensory impairment means they can be part of their family. It allows the infant or child to have a greater sense of normality and freedom.
​
Our Approach
​
We always put every child at the centre of everything we do and consider all aspects of their care not just the needs of their condition. A child’s care plan will change frequently as they grow and their medical or social needs change. We will hold regular reviews to ensure that their care plan is adapted to meet these needs.
Young People​
​
As young people grow, they want to explore, have fun and spend time with other people outside of the family. Having complex health needs can make this more challenging. However, this can be made possible with some forward planning.
Our Approach
​
We focus on not just a young person’s medical needs but also their educational, social and emotional requirements. We support them as they move through their teenage years and onto becoming adults and to achieving greater independence. Their care plans will be continually adapted as they transition and begin their journey of becoming adults and potentially living independently.
​
Adults and Elderly Service Users

Dementia and Mental Healthcare

Acquired Brain Injury and Spinal Cord Injuries
​
Damage to the brain or spinal cord will typically result in physical disability but can also sometimes affect their behaviour, personality and cognitive abilities. Therefore, each individual’s needs greatly vary and so too will the level of care and support they need.
​
A brain injury occurs from an incident or accident that has resulted in one or more areas of the brain being damaged, resulting in learning disabilities or loss of cognition. This in turn can have an impact on physical movement and daily living skills.
​
The care that may be needed could include assistance with personal care, prompting and assisting with daily tasks which they could independently do before the injury. Some clients may have a client-specific daily routine or therapy programme that they need to follow.
​
Degenerative or Congenital Conditions
​
Living with a chronic condition, whether degenerative or congenital requires one’s care to be adapted as the condition progresses and changes over time. Getting the right care and support to see you through those changes can make all the difference. Some of conditions include:
-
Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
-
Parkinson’s Disease
-
Muscular Dystrophy
-
Huntington’s Disease
-
Friedreich Ataxia

Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
