Compassionate Care Group is launching a complex care division that will deliver nurse-led services to adults, children and young people in their own homes.
The Manchester-based family-run care provider has invested £500,000 in the service that will aim to relieve pressure on the NHS.
It launches with a team of six clinicians covering a range of complex needs including epilepsy, cerebral palsy, Battens disease, brain and spinal injuries, mental health issues and challenging behaviours, as well as the administration of complex medication, ventilators and tracheostomies.
It has started developing relationships with regional health authorities and NHS case managers across Greater Manchester, Lancashire and Cheshire. The team will work across the North West initially before rolling out nationally as demand increases.
‘With the NHS under ever increasing pressure, demand for clinician-led complex care services delivered in the home continues to rise, so expanding into this area was a natural next step for us,’ said Michael Medlicott, Compassionate Care Group chief executive officer.
‘Evidence indicates that many people in hospital with complex care needs would prefer to move back home and be cared for in a community setting if they had a provider with specialised clinical expertise that they could trust with their medical requirements.’
Compassionate Care Group will develop the service over the next three to five years with the long-term aim of becoming the preferred provider for complex care.
The provider delivers a range of care and support services, including supported living, homecare, mental healthcare provision, emergency accommodation and respite care, children’s outreach and specialist support.
