Why choose Complex Care

Personalised One-to-One Clinical Support

At-home complex care is tailored specifically to the individual’s medical, emotional, and daily living needs. Unlike care homes, where attention is divided, home care offers dedicated one-to-one support with flexible, customised routines and interventions.

Comfort and Familiarity of the Home

Being in a familiar space surrounded by personal belongings, loved ones, and pets can reduce stress and anxiety. This is especially valuable for individuals with neurological conditions, acquired brain injuries, or sensory sensitivities.

Reduced Risk of Infection

Hospitals and care homes can increase exposure to infections. Receiving care at home provides a safer, controlled environment – especially important for individuals with compromised immune systems or those using ventilators or feeding tubes.

Greater Independence and Dignity

Complex care at home empowers individuals to maintain independence and autonomy in daily decisions. With support structured around their lifestyle and preferences, people can retain more control over how they live – boosting confidence and dignity.

Integration with Community Services

Home-based complex care can be closely coordinated with GPs, district nurses, occupational therapists, and other NHS professionals, ensuring a joined-up approach to care without the need for institutionalisation.

Family Involvement and Emotional Support

Home care allows families to stay closely involved in the individual’s life and care, without restrictions. It fosters stronger emotional connections, provides reassurance to loved ones, and reduces the emotional strain often associated with residential placements.

Care stories

When I was discharged from the hospital after my operation in September last year, I began receiving twice-daily care from Hartwig Care (morning and evening), and they have been wonderful for me. They help me take a shower, get dressed, make my bed, and prepare my food. They always assist with whatever I need. They make me feel happy. They are incredibly helpful, and I love them for it.

Esther O – Service User

The carers always make me laugh. If I'm feeling down, they are there to help me through it. They talk to me and lift my spirits when I'm upset. They provide the companionship that most people in my position yearn for. While I have family, it's important to have someone outside the family, and they provide that, along with washing me or making me a cup of tea, which is lovely.

Jen H – Service User

I have been with Hartwig Care for about 6-7 years. The care package I receive includes personal care, helping me change and get ready for the night. My carers also assist me with shopping. My carers are wonderful. They are caring, considerate, and make me laugh.
