Let Us Take Care Of All Your Loved Ones Complex Needs

If you are exploring home care support for a loved one with complex needs, you may require complex care. Below you’ll find key information on this type of care and you can decide whether it is the right decision. 

Does your loved one have complex needs that must be addressed through home care support? If so we can help. At Konnect Care, we offer complex support packages to ensure that all the needs of your loved one can be taken care of. 

Complex Care Explained

Complex care is a form of specialist support that is used to help an individual with a long-term or chronic health condition. It can be used to treat their symptoms and handle their day-to-day needs or requirements. 

This differs from traditional types of care because it usually includes some form of medical intervention. Complex care can be a service necessary for any condition that does require clinical support. It could also be needed if a person requires nursing care as a result of their primary condition. For instance, if your loved one has a PEG feeding tube, they could certainly benefit from complex care support. 

Complex care can be provided in various forms including:

• Live-in care
• Visiting care 
• Respite Care

The right choice will depend on the individual needs of your loved one. In some cases, complex care may only be required in the short term. If that’s the case, respite care could be the most suitable option. If you are the main carer, then respite can provide you with the break that you need to refuel and build back your energy. 

On the opposite end of the spectrum, live-in care offers a more comprehensive complex care package for those who require round-the-clock support. A live-in care will remain with your loved one day and night, ensuring that they are never left alone. 

Who Can Benefit From Complex Care Support?

Anyone who is living with a long-term or progressive illness could gain benefits from a complex care support package. Complex care is offered by clinical nurses with years of experience to ensure that every individual gets the right support that they need. 

It can be suitable for people with a wide range of medical conditions including:

• Spinal cord injuries
• Neurological conditions
• Acquired brain injuries

If you are unsure whether a complex care plan can meet your needs we can assist you. We will assess the requirements of your loved one and ensure that it is the right choice. 

Establishing A Complex Care Plan

Our NDIS complex care team will formulate a plan for your loved one based on their individual needs. This will include any diagnosis that they may have and treatment that they could have previously been provided. 

An expert clinical nurse will work with your care manager to carry out an assessment and ensure that all requirements of your loved one are fully catered to. 

Any complex care package can also be reviewed every six months to ensure it continues to address the needs of any client.
