Clinical Care at Home

Our complex care service is nurse-led and our care teams are trained in the clinical skills required to provide care and support for complex, terminal and other medical conditions. They are supported by an experienced and dedicated registered nurse who undertakes regular competency assessments and provides clinical monitoring, supervision and support.

With this leadership and oversight, carers can perform many delegated healthcare tasks and interventions at home, including:

Working with Case Managers

We are a trusted partner of Case Managers, working in collaboration to create highly personalised and outcome-based complex care packages that are focused on improving quality of life, for all of life.

We understand that Case Managers are looking for a professional, safe, reliable and effective clinical approach to providing care and support. Clinical excellence is at the heart of what we do at Prestige Nursing & Care. Our experienced nursing teams and expertly trained carers enable clients to live well at home, with improved health outcomes. This means our clients experience fewer falls, infections and unnecessary hospital admissions.

At Prestige Nursing & Care, we have developed strong relationships with many ICBs that are based on a shared goal of securing the right funded care package for our clients. This enables our clients to get the right care, at the right time.

Our core belief is that anyone, no matter what their age, should be able to receive high-quality, expert nurse-led care at home as opposed to having to spend prolonged periods of time in an acute or specialist care setting to get the care they need.

All of our carers have at least six months of care or health sector experience before being placed with a client or community partner.
