Prestige Nursing & Care

“We never thought that anybody would be good enough to help with the care of our disabled son. How wrong we were! We have had the same carer with us for three years now. Every member of the team is caring, professional and always go that extra mile.” Michaela – Client’s Mother

Hourly care
Sometimes call visiting care, hourly care is provided to people in their own homes when additional support is needed with daily life. Carers will take care of household tasks, personal care, meals and any other activities to help support independence. You will be working with people with a range of conditions, for instance those living with complex needs like dementia or Parkinson’s to people recovering from illness, stroke or hospital treatment.

24-hour care
Small teams of carers work in rotation to provide people with continuous support. You will be working with people living with complex needs who require nurse-led care, or those living with conditions that impacts their ability to live well.

Respite care at home
You will provide temporary care and support to someone in their own home. This allows the primary or family carer to take a break and enjoy some rest.

Nurse-led care
Our nurse-led service provides care for people of all ages, from babies who require paediatric care at home, to children with a learning disability through to adolescents who have had a life-changing accident to adults and older people living with neurological conditions or other physical disabilities. Our care is aimed to facilitate independence, social interaction and emotional well-being whilst supporting people to fulfil their potential and live a purposeful and meaningful life.

Paediatric care
We work with clients, their families, commissioning groups and case managers to provide compassionate paediatric care for children in their own home. Our paediatric care provision covers children in all stages of their development - from babies to adolescents and supporting their transition into adulthood. Our registered nurses guide and oversee the clinical care working with a trained carer.

“The carers follow protocol but in such a non-clinical way. Liam needs somebody with a spark, who can laugh and joke with him, and this is what they do. I know how much Liam is benefitting and this makes me happy. Prestige Nursing & Care has made such a difference to my life. They are all friendly, approachable, flexible, committed, trustworthy and reliable.” - Lesley - Liam’s Mum

Adult complex care
Our teams are expertly equipped to provide support for adults living with chronic health issues, a long-term life limiting illness, disability, mental health condition or acquired brain injury.

Palliative care
We are able to ensure a person with a life-limiting illness that they are likely to pass away from can have a good quality of life and remain independent and as active as possible in the time they have left.
