Expert-Led Care, Tailored to Your Child’s Needs

Day and night shifts or 24/7 live-in care to ensure consistent, expert support.
Tracheostomy and ventilation management for children requiring respiratory support, including routine maintenance, emergency response, and equipment care.
Cognitive and developmental support to foster learning, communication, and independence.
Mobility and therapy-based care, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Community reintegration to help children engage socially, academically, and physically.
Emotional and behavioural support to promote stability, confidence, and resilience.
Skilled Care Team: Healthcare Assistants and Nurses
Our care is delivered by a qualified team of healthcare assistants (HCAs) and registered nurses (RNs), ensuring a balanced approach to medical and personal care.
Healthcare Assistants: Provide hands-on support with daily living tasks, mobility, and routine care.
Registered Nurses: Offer specialist nursing expertise, including complex medication management and complex health monitoring.
We tailor care to your child’s needs, combining the skills of HCA and RN teams to deliver comprehensive, safe, and compassionate support.
What Makes Us Different?
Specialist Expertise in Tracheostomy and Ventilation Care
We are highly experienced in managing tracheostomy and ventilation devices, ensuring safe, effective care for children with complex respiratory needs. Our team is trained to:
Monitor and maintain tracheostomy tubes and ventilators.
Respond to emergencies, such as leaks, blockages or equipment failures.
Provide humidification, suctioning, and infection prevention.
Flexible Care Options for Every Need
Whether your child requires daytime support, overnight care, or round-the-clock live-in care, we adapt to your family’s lifestyle. Our care plans are reviewed regularly to ensure they evolve with your child’s changing needs.
Transition-Ready Support for Older Children and Adolescents
We support children as they transition from paediatric to adult services, helping them build skills for independence and navigate the healthcare system with confidence.
Collaborative, Family-Centred Approach
We work closely with families, healthcare professionals, and community services to ensure seamless care. Our carers are trained to communicate effectively with children, respecting their preferences and promoting dignity.
Our Care Team: Trained, Trusted, and Compassionate
Our paediatric carers undergo rigorous training in:
Tracheostomy and ventilation care (including emergency protocols).
Cerebral palsy and profound learning disability support (with a focus on mobility, communication, and safety).
Developmental therapies and behavioural management techniques.
Emergency response for seizures, respiratory distress, and other critical situations.
We prioritise consistency by minimising relief carers and involving families in the selection process through meet-and-greet sessions. This ensures your child feels safe and supported by a familiar, skilled team.
