Complex Care in Southend
When the needs are clinical, the care must be clinical too
Complex care covers people with long-term, life-limiting or clinically demanding needs — tracheostomy, ventilator, PEG feeding, complex medication regimes, end-of-life care. Our Southend complex care team is nurse-led, CQC-regulated, and supported by NHS Continuing Healthcare funding where eligible.

How quickly can you start?
For Fast-Track CHC referrals, often within 24–48 hours. For standard complex packages, usually within a week of the home assessment.
What about night cover?
24-hour packages include waking-night provision when clinically required, with two-carer cover for higher-dependency cases (e.g. ventilated clients).
