Clinically experienced carers for stroke, Parkinson’s, MS, end-of-life, PEG, catheter, hoist and ventilator-dependent care — at home, where your loved one wants to be.
What “Complex Care” Actually Means
Complex care is for clients whose conditions require trained clinical input alongside personal care. We don’t replace district nurses or GPs — we work alongside them, keeping your loved one at home safely instead of moving them to a nursing home.

Why Cambridge Families Choose Oath for Complex Care
Complex care needs experienced people, real clinical training, and tight coordination with the wider care team. Here’s how we deliver that.
Clinical experience
Our complex care team includes carers with years of clinical experience — many came from hospital, hospice or NHS community settings.
District nurse liaison
We coordinate weekly (or more) with district nurses, GPs and specialist consultants. You’re not the messenger between professionals.
Detailed care plans
Written, reviewed every 2-4 weeks, accessible to family at any time. Updated promptly when condition or medication changes.
NHS CHC funding help
Most complex care clients qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare — fully NHS-funded. We’ll guide you through the assessment.
Common Questions from Cambridge Families
Are your carers actually trained for clinical tasks like PEG feeding or catheter care?
Yes. Our complex care carers are trained to QCF Level 3 minimum, with task-specific training (PEG, catheter, stoma, hoist) signed off by a registered nurse.
How does NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC) work?
If your loved one has significant clinical needs, they may qualify for fully NHS-funded care under CHC. The assessment looks at 12 care domains. We help you request the checklist assessment and prepare for the full Decision Support Tool meeting.
Can you work alongside a Macmillan or hospice nurse?
Yes — and we frequently do. Our end-of-life carers regularly liaise with Macmillan nurses, hospice-at-home teams, and palliative consultants.
What if my parent’s condition deteriorates suddenly?
Our carers report changes immediately — to family, GP, district nurse, and senior coordinator. We have escalation protocols. The senior coordinator is on call 24/7.
Can you handle ventilator-dependent or tracheostomy clients?
Yes, with the right carer. We have carers experienced in non-invasive ventilation, BiPAP, CPAP and tracheostomy care.
Do you do post-stroke or post-surgical recovery?
Yes. Live-in complex care during the first 4-12 weeks post-stroke or post-surgery has the highest impact on long-term outcomes.
How do you handle medication?
MAR charts are kept and audited. Carers prompt or administer per the prescribed care plan. We work directly with the GP and pharmacy.
