Do you have a loved one waiting to receive care? Maybe you want to know your future options, or you need complex care support after being discharged from the hospital.

Age UK has confirmed that accessing care and support through the current social care system is very difficult.

Their latest report has found that thousands of older people died in 2022/23 before receiving the social care they were waiting for. On average, there were a shocking 79 deaths a day.

People also commented on the lack of discharge support and home adaptations available to them after they have undergone treatments.

What are the implications of Age UK’s report?

This lack of support not only affects the individual who is waiting to receive care, but their families too.

However, if you find yourself or a loved one in the position of needing care, know that you don’t have to struggle alone.

As providers of specialist complex care, we can’t stress the importance of getting timely support enough.

Our team is working to reduce this gap by providing the support your family needs, whether you are transitioning from the hospital to home, need care for complex needs, or support recovering from a brain injury.

Our person-centred approach

Being responsive to an individual’s changing needs is essential to give them the best support possible.

By regularly evaluating the individual’s needs, we’re able to shape our care plans to adapt to any additional needs quickly and effectively.

We find this person-centred approach vital to bolster independence, social involvement, and wellbeing.
