Home Care for Children & Young Adults

Understanding Homecare for Children

Children in need of care at home may have varying medical conditions, disabilities, or special requirements. Homecare provides them with personalised, child-focused care and support within the familiarity of their home, fostering a sense of security and stability.

Our homecare for children and young adults is centred around bespoke, personalised care. With each child having unique needs, our homecare service allows for tailored care plans. Whether it involves administering medication, managing therapies, or providing emotional support, care for children at home guarantees the right level of care and attention for each child.

We work directly with the ICBs, local authorities and case management services along with the parents to ensure every provision for children is fulfilled.

Our Dedicated Team

We have a dedicated clinical team with a huge amount of clinical experience, including paediatric complex care, end of life care, oncology, learning disability and acute clinical care. Our clinical team, including our paediatric clinical lead will support the branches in their assessment, ensuring clinical oversite and guidance.

Caring For A Child With Additional Needs In The Home

Providing home care for children with physical and learning disabilities demands a specialised approach. At Nurseplus Care at home, we appreciate the unique challenges that families with children who have additional needs face every day. Our priority is to support these families, and build relationships with them, understanding that no care can replace that of a parent or care giver but by working closely with the family, and ensuring every aspect of our care planning and assessment is personalise to that child or young person we can support that child in their own home or community in the way that they are most comfortable with.

We understand the importance of customising care plans for children with special educational needs. Our team of homecare experts and dedicated caregivers are able to collaborate with parents, teachers, and therapists to promote a learning-friendly environment.

As well as working with the families of children and young people, we understand that children with additional needs often have input and aspects of their care from multiple different teams. We are able to communicate and utilise experts from all avenues and pride ourselves on our transparency of communication. Our caregivers are trained to cater to each child's individual needs, with a bespoke classroom training course developed to cover this in great detail.

At Nurseplus Care at home, we have developed a children’s services specific training programme for all our care givers that work with children and young people. This includes a face-to-face paediatric first aid training day, ensuring our staff have up-to-date training that is regularly reviewed. As well as this, we have in-house clinical development programmes for our care staff to upskill and ensure we are delivering the highest quality of care possible.

Emotional support is equally crucial for children with special needs. Beyond physical care, our caregivers offer compassionate support to children facing emotional challenges, ensuring a secure and comforting at-home childcare environment.
