Complex Care in Durham
When the needs are clinical, the care must be clinical too
Some care needs cross the line from social into clinical: spinal injury, MS progression, post-stroke rehabilitation, palliative care with controlled drugs. For families in Durham, our complex care team brings nurse oversight to the home environment — with the comfort and dignity of staying out of an institutional setting.
