Private nursing care at home is a specialised form of one-to-one care that enables people living with complex health conditions to receive the care they need without leaving the comfort of home. Private nursing care requires the expertise of specially trained carers or nurses to perform clinical care tasks and operate specialist medical equipment.
For over 75 years, Prestige Nursing & Care has provided high-quality, private nurse-led care to people from all walks of life. Our clients, their families, commissioning groups and Case Managers nationwide trust us to provide skilled nurse-led care focused on improving health and overall well-being – and all in the place people love best – their own homes.
Our established private nurse-led service cares for generations of people – from babies who require paediatric care at home and children with learning disabilities to adults and older people living with neurological conditions or other physical disabilities.
Personalised and bespoke care packages are tailored to each client, ensuring all their needs and wishes are met. Our care is designed to facilitate independence, social interaction and emotional well-being whilst supporting people to fulfil their potential and live a purposeful and meaningful life.
WHAT IS PRIVATE NURSE-LED CARE?
Private nurse-led care supports individuals living with complex health conditions who need support to live well in their own homes.
Prestige Nursing & Care provides a fully managed, nurse-led care service that is flexible and designed to evolve with the changing needs of our clients. Working closely with commissioning groups and Case Managers across the country, we provide compassionate nurse-led care that improves quality of life and enhances overall well-being.
Our nurse-led care is delivered by vetted and highly-trained carers. Each of our carers completes an industry-leading training programme created in collaboration with our registered nurses, clinical experts and other healthcare professionals. This hands-on nurse training means our carers can competently undertake a range of clinical tasks in our client’s own homes.
Our private nurse-led care service is monitored and supported by our experienced regional nursing teams. This expert oversight and dedication to providing only the highest quality care is reflected in our CQC rating: we are proud that 96% of our inspected services were rated as providing a ‘Good’ service.

OUR NURSE-LED CARE SERVICE
Our carers are expertly trained and experienced in providing care and support for complex, terminal and other medical conditions that impact how people live their lives. They are supported by a registered home nurse who provides unrivalled monitoring and supervision of the nurse-led care we provide.
As part of our private nursing care service, we assess care needs and plan the care and support required. We continually monitor and evaluate outcomes so the care provided meets changing needs.
Nurse-led care includes:
- Establishing and agreeing on clinical care needs
- Undertaking risk assessments
- Developing a plan of care and working with the client and family to set expectations
- Providing hands-on care at home
- Evaluating the care provided, ensuring the right care is delivered at the right time so a person’s needs are met – every time
- Providing advice and support to the client and their family
- Working in collaboration with other healthcare professionals involved in a person’s care
HOW WE PROVIDE NURSE-LED CARE AT HOME
Our trusted private nursing care service is flexible and can be provided in the following ways:
- Hourly care or visiting care is flexible and can be provided for as many hours as required throughout the day or week to ensure our clients are never without the support they need.
- Respite care for those needing a short-term arrangement after hospital discharge to rehabilitate or when a family carer needs a break from their caring role.
- 24-hour care is for people with substantial care needs who need round-the-clock support to live well at home. A team of dedicated carers will take turns being with throughout the day and night, so you’re never left without the support you need.
CLINICAL CARE AT HOME
Our complex care 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.
