Funding For Care At Home
Care for young people with complex medical needs is the primary responsibility of your local NHS and will most likely receive ‘NHS Continuing Care Package’. Your local authority is also responsible for providing any non-medical care services that a young person needs. This could include equipment for daily living, home care, access to school or education settings, and respite care so that regular carers can have a break.
Ocean Healthcare is a registered supplier to Devon Clinical Commissioning Groups and the NHS for providing complex care services from adolescents to young adult. Our nurse-led care team have over 30 years of experience of caring for children from degenerative and congenital conditions through to spinal cord injuries.
