Complex Care For Young People
Complex Care for Young People Preparing for Adulthood
At Paragon Home Healthcare, we specialise in 24/7 complex care at home for older children and adolescents with serious or ongoing health needs. Our focus is on supporting young people as they begin transitioning from paediatric to adult care services. This includes clients with tracheostomy or ventilation needs, cerebral palsy, acquired brain injuries, and profound learning disabilities.
Our service is designed to promote safety, confidence, and dignity—while helping young people build the skills they need for greater independence.
Personalised, Age-Appropriate Support for Complex Conditions
Every young person is different. That’s why we work closely with families, case managers, and clinical teams to develop personalised care plans that respond to medical needs, lifestyle, and future goals.
We support:
Day and night care or full 24/7 packages
Tracheostomy and ventilation management
Communication, learning, and cognitive development
Therapy-based care (PT, OT, SALT)
Educational and social participation
Behavioural and emotional regulation
Care Delivered by a Skilled, Clinically-Led Team
Our blended team of healthcare assistants (HCAs) and registered nurses (RNs) provides the balance of personal care and clinical oversight required for complex support.
Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) help with mobility, routine care and daily activities
Registered Nurses (RNs) manage clinical elements such as medication and complex procedures
Together, they ensure that each care plan is safe, thorough, and responsive.
Expertise in Transition-Stage Health Needs
Specialist Respiratory and Neurological Care
Our team is experienced in managing tracheostomy and ventilation safely and confidently. We train all staff in:
Routine and emergency respiratory care
Infection control, suctioning, and humidification
Monitoring and maintaining life-sustaining equipment
Flexible, Responsive Care Options
We offer flexible support that fits your routine—whether that’s daytime care, overnight help, or 24-hour live-in care. All care plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as your child grows or their needs change.
Supporting the Move Toward Adulthood
We specialise in helping young people aged 13+ through the transition from paediatric to adult care. Our focus is on supporting greater independence, skill-building, and life-readiness—with appropriate support at each stage.
Partnership with Families and Professionals
We work closely with:
Parents and guardians
NHS discharge teams and paediatric services
Case managers and CHC teams
Schools, hospices, and therapy providers
We involve families in carer selection and provide continuity wherever possible, so young people feel secure and well-supported by a familiar team.

Tracheostomy and ventilation management
Neurological and developmental care
Emergency protocols (seizures, respiratory distress)
