Mental health care at home

Who can we support?

Whether an individual requires one-to-one or four-to-one support, short-term, in an emergency, for respite, or for longer term, we’ll put the right team in place to ensure dependable care is provided while maintaining the safety of service users, others and their families. We can provide support for:

• Local authorities – we can support individuals in challenging circumstances, often where the service user or their family are in crisis or their current care provision has broken down or is no longer suitable
• Social workers – we can support with care packages or respite, liaising with community nursing teams or multidisciplinary teams to ensure supportive and effective communication for the service user and their family
• Case managers – as an interim care provision until the individual’s care package is complete, our expert team can provide the support that is needed
• Hospital discharge coordinators – we enable individuals who do not need to be in hospital to return home and receive care in the community
• Service users and their families – we’re able to arrange private mental health care at home from mental health nurses and healthcare assistants you can trust, giving you peace of mind
• Care providers, including nursing and care agencies – our reliable, experienced nurses and healthcare assistants can bridge the gap while you find permanent workers

What makes our mental health nurses different?

We understand that standards of mental health care cannot be compromised, even when shifts are last-minute, or nurses are needed in difficult circumstances. Some of the qualities that set our nurses apart are:

• Adaptability to work in different situations and settings, both in hospitals and communities
• Availability to cover either one-off shifts, or provide longer-term, temporary shift cover
• Going above and beyond what is expected to ensure the best possible mental health care is delivered
• The ability to effectively assess risk and manage service users with extreme behaviours of distress
• The ability to work independently or as part of a team, depending on the needs of the service user, whilst working closely with our clinical team and MDT
• Willingness to travel and support clients when no one else can – even in remote locations

Whenever we receive a request for our mental health care services, whether it is for crisis intervention or one-to-one support, in conjunction with the MDT we carefully assess the situation to ensure we place nurses and healthcare assistants with the right skills and references to manage the service user’s needs. We also fully brief every person before they arrive. This means our nurses and healthcare assistants can begin delivering the most appropriate care immediately.

We have specialist mental health nurses and healthcare assistants in all parts of the country and are able to be deployed at very short notice.
