What is complex care?

Complex care is about enabling our chronic or long-term health condition clients with the highest possible quality of life through person-centered, specialist support. It is extra assistance to manage symptoms and daily activities.

Unlike general domiciliary care complex care usually involves medical intervention of some sort and involvement with clinicians and nurses that specialise in that individual’s particular condition.

Why choose this service

The goal of complex care at home is to provide support around an individual’s needs and enable them to retain their independence as much as possible.

Complex care seeks to provide assistance for clients that require specialist clinical support, such as Parkinson’s, acquired brain injuries or other neurological afflictions. It can also be provided if someone requires nursing care as a result of their primary condition, for example, a PEG feeding tube after someone has had a stroke.

At Revolutionary Quality Care Solutions we recognise that everyone’s care situation is unique – whether you’ve just come out of hospital and need care for a few weeks or months to help you get you back on your feet, or if you have a complex condition that you’ve lived with since birth and want to be able to live by yourself. 

We are fully experienced with ventilated patients as well as clients who have suffered brain and head injuries and need our specialist help.
