Complex Care in Washington

Complex Care in Washington

When the needs are clinical, the care must be clinical too

When a parent comes home from Queen Elizabeth Hospital Gateshead on a ventilator, or a partner is diagnosed with MND, the care needs shift from social to clinical overnight. Oath Healthcare’s Washington complex care team handles this — with registered nurses overseeing every package and senior carers trained in specific clinical procedures.
