Complex Care
A complex care at home program allows
individuals to retain as much independence
as they can while receiving support tailored
to their needs.
What is complex care?
Complicated home care is usually required by individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities or after hospitalisation. A hospital or care home setting is typically seen as the only place to receive complex medical care. However, today, more and more families are choosing to seek this care in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes, under the care of a live-in care provider that employs qualified people in order to support a wide range of chronic medical conditions. Sometimes, long-term care is referred to as complex care.
How does a complex support plan work?
An individual's health care needs will be addressed by a complex care support plan, including the diagnosis and any treatment required. This type of plan is written in first person and centers on the individual and their wishes. It provides important information, including contact information for their next of kin and other healthcare professionals.
Support plans also provide detailed instructions and information to carers, ensuring they deliver care precisely as outlined in the initial assessment with the client. The care manager can alter the customer’s support plan at any time. Monthly reviews are mandatory.
Among the complex conditions Care1 supports are:
- Acquired brain injury
- Epilepsy awareness
- Gastro-intestinal conditions including PEG feeding
- Live in care
- Respiratory conditions including artificial respiration
- Respite care and support
- Spinal cord injury
- Tracheostomy care
Various types of complex care
- Stoma care - involves attaching ostomy bags to a stoma and providing care to people who need it.
- PEG, or percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy - is a type of complicated medical procedure that allows the patient to receive enteral nutrition, since they cannot sustain adequate nutrition through oral intake.
- Tracheostomy care - In order to understand tracheostomy care, you need to consider the two main types. The two types of tracheostomies are acute and chronic. A chronic tracheostomy is applied to patients who need it for a longer period of time rather than an emergency tracheostomy.
