Complex care is temporary care individuals when their normal carers are not available. Respite care, or carers respite, is typically used as part of recovery after an accident, illness or surgery when regular carers need a break, or additional specialized support is required.
Complex care is specialist support for someone with a chronic or long term health condition,who requires extra assistance to manage their symptoms and day-to-day activities. Complex care can include any condition that requires clinical support such as Parkinson’s, acquired brain injuries (ABI) or a neurological condition. Complex care can also be referred to as long-term care or continuing care.
At Angelus Homecare we support individuals with complex care who have substantial and ongoing health care needs. These can be as a result of chronic illness, disabilities or following hospital treatment. Depending on your or your loved one’s condition, complex care can accommodate essentially any aspect of day-to-day life. Our complex care services aim to relieve as much stress as possible. Our compassionate care workers can assist with everything from providing assistance with personal care tasks, pain management, eating and drinking, monitoring pressure care, continence care, or just being there for reassurance and companionship.
We believe that complex care should be available within the familiar environment of your or your loved one’s own home, and so if it’s a viable option we will endeavour to do everything within our power to make your experience is as stress free as possible..
Most importantly, complex care involves tailoring your care and support plan around you or your loved one, establishing that their life doesn’t revolve around their condition or illness but around their life as a person. Managing pain, alleviating stressful symptoms and being there at each step of the process ensures that you or your loved one is treated with both dignity and respect.
Complex care is a person-centered approach to address the needs of people whose combinations of medical, behavioral health and social challenges result in extreme patterns and needs of health and social care.
Individuals who have either multiple complex medical conditions, multiple detrimental social needs, or a combination of both which negatively impact on a individuals day to day life or healthcare management.
Individuals who need extra care and support due to complex medical issues that are often at times compounded by social, economic, environmental and behavioral factors.
Hospitals, hospices and care homes can be daunting environments for those experiencing or recovering or living with such complex needs. This is especially true if there’s a possibility of spending a long period in such environments. However, Complex Care offers the familiar space of their own home and will undoubtedly be a much more comforting notion.
Being able to live in a familiar setting, visited by friends, family and well-trained care workers is arguably much more settling and risk-free than having to adjust to and settle into a completely new environment, and the stress-relieving alternative of being comfortable at home is sure to not only improve a loved one’s quality of life but potentially elongate their lifespan as a whole.
Those recovering from an illness or injury can also benefit from the many different services offered by home care, as these include assisting or applying medication, balms or lotions as well as treating specific areas of the body.
