If you have recently been diagnosed or are living with a chronic long-term illness or condition, you may be worried about losing your independence.
According to Sense, 1.6 million people are living with complex disabilities across the UK. As the number of people living with chronic illnesses or long-term conditions continues to increase year-on-year, having complex care that’s tailored to you is essential. It allows you to continue your daily activities while being cared for by a qualified healthcare professional.
Our guide looks at complex care at home and why you should choose Sova Healthcare as your complex care provider.
What is Complex Care?
Complex care is a form of healthcare provided to people with long-term illnesses and disabilities who require additional support with day-to-day activities. This type of care is typically delivered either in a care home, or in your own home.
There are many types of health conditions and disabilities which come under complex care, such as:
- Neurological disorders
- Developmental disabilities (Down’s syndrome and cerebral palsy)
- Chronic health conditions (heart disease and diabetes)
- Mental health conditions (anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder)
- Substance abuse disorders.
What Types of Complex Care Services Do We Offer?
At Sova Healthcare, we offer the following complex care services, which are personalised to suit your needs, such as:
- Complex physical and learning disabilities.
- Respite care
- Specialist care services when arriving home from the hospital.
What is a Complex Care Support Plan?
A complex care support plan provides a comprehensive overview, identifying your healthcare needs and treatment. Typically, a complex care plan includes various details, such as:
- Input from a clinical nurse, alongside your local care manager.
- Prioritising your needs.
- Continual reviews where we will adjust your support plan if required.
What is the Difference Between Complex Care and Residential Care?
The key difference between complex care and residential care is the level of independence you receive. Our complex care service is designed to be tailored to your needs. It means you have around-the-clock care in a familiar space while keeping you safe, happy and healthy. However, residential care is in a specialised facility, away from home.
