Complex Care in London
Specialist, clinically-informed care at home for adults and children with high-dependency or long-term complex support needs — delivered across London by trained specialist care teams.
What is complex care at home?
Complex care — sometimes called high-dependency care or specialist care — refers to care packages that go beyond standard domiciliary support. These packages typically involve clinical or medical elements that require trained, specialist carers working within agreed clinical protocols.
Complex care at home is increasingly chosen as an alternative to long-term hospital or residential settings. For many people, remaining at home — with the right clinical and personal support around them — leads to better outcomes, greater independence, and a significantly improved quality of life.
You or a loved one may need complex care at home if:
- Discharge from hospital requires ongoing clinical support at home
- A long-term condition involves clinical interventions such as ventilation, tracheostomy care, or PEG feeding
- Multiple co-existing conditions require coordinated, multi-disciplinary support
- A child or young person has high-dependency paediatric needs
- Acquired brain injury, spinal cord injury, or neurological condition requires specialist support
- Behavioural or clinical complexity requires a higher level of trained carer input
“Complex care at home is not just possible — for many people, it is the best possible outcome.”

Why complex care at home matters
Home over hospital or residential care
Complex care at home supports timely, safe hospital discharge and reduces avoidable readmissions — keeping people in the environment where they typically thrive best.
Specialist clinical capability
Our carers are trained specifically for the clinical requirements of each package — not generic care workers with generic training. The right skills, delivered with precision.
MDT coordination and professional liaison
We work closely with community nursing teams, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, case managers, and the wider clinical network to ensure fully joined-up care.
Continuity and consistency
Stable, consistent care teams improve clinical outcomes, reduce anxiety for service users and families, and enable genuine relationship-based support.
Family involvement at every stage
We actively involve families in the design and review of care plans. Families are partners in care — not bystanders.
How a complex care package begins
From first contact to care commencing — a structured, clinically-governed process.
Referral or enquiry received
Contact us directly or submit a referral via our referrer form. We acknowledge all enquiries promptly — within the same working day for urgent packages.
Clinical triage and initial discussion
A senior member of our clinical team reviews the referral and contacts the referrer or family to discuss needs, clinical requirements, and immediate priorities.
Comprehensive needs assessment
We carry out a thorough assessment of the individual's clinical needs, home environment, equipment requirements, and personal preferences.
Care plan, staffing, and training
A detailed care plan is developed and costed. We recruit, train, and brief the care team specifically for the package before care begins.
Care commences and is reviewed
Care begins at the agreed start date. We review the package regularly and report routinely to referrers, commissioners, and families.
