Specialist care is a comprehensive service designed to support people living with a specific health condition or unique care needs in their own home.
Unlike standard home care, specialist care involves highly trained carers providing assistance tailored to an individual’s health condition. This might involve complex care for a chronic condition, post-surgical support, or assisting clients living with a health condition such a dementia, Parkinson’s, stroke, Motor Neurone Disease (MND) or palliative care.
At Carefound Home Care we are experts in providing specialist care for health conditions, ranging from general personal care to more complex clinical care. Our specialist care services are available as hourly home care, live-in care or short-term respite care, and are managed by our local care management teams which are rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and are used to working in close partnership with other health professionals as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
