Complex Care Condition

What is complex care?


Complex care is person-centered specialist support for someone with a chronic or long-term health condition, that requires extra assistance to manage their symptoms and daily activities to enable a high quality of life.


This type of care differs from generaldomiciliary carebecause it usually involves medical intervention of some sort and involvement with clinicians and nurses that specialise in that individual’s particular condition. Complex care can include any condition that requires clinical support, such as Parkinson’s, acquired brain injuries or a neurological condition. It can also be provided if someone requiresnursing careas a result of their primary condition, for example, a PEG feeding tube after someone has had a stroke.
