Complex Care at Home
Complex care is designed for people whose needs require a more detailed and coordinated approach to support. The care plan should reflect the individual’s condition, routines, risks, preferences and the level of assistance required.
A detailed care plan
Complex care should begin with a clear understanding of the person’s needs. This may involve information from the individual, family members and relevant professionals. The agreed plan should explain the support required and how it will be delivered.
Support can be built around the individual
- Personal care and daily routines
- Support with mobility and everyday activities
- Medication-related support where included in the care plan
- Companionship and emotional support
- Coordination around agreed care needs
- Regular review when circumstances change
Why personalised care matters
People with complex needs often have routines and preferences that need careful consideration. A personalised approach can help make care more consistent and easier for the individual and their family to understand.
Working with families and professionals
Where appropriate, communication with family members and relevant professionals can help ensure that everyone understands the care plan and any changes that need to be considered.
