OneCare at Kavanagh Place
The OneCare service at Kavanagh Place provides specialist nursing care for adults living with complex needs, in a domestic environment. It's ideal for those with complex diagnoses and high acuity needs which cannot be met in a group living environment.
The service is based in a two-bedroom house across the road from the main care home. The house has twe en-suite bedrooms, a stair lift, a large shared kitchen, a dining room and a lounge.
Its location means that people can be as independent from, or integrated with, the main care home as they wish. Our OneCare residents always have the support of an experienced multidisciplinary team of professionals just a few steps away.
Providing a pathway of care at Exemplar Health Care allows commissioners to fund a journey for service users – starting as a comprehensive service, but reducing over time without the need to move the person to another provider. For my client, the OneCare service provides a genuine opportunity for him to develop.

Complex care at Kavanagh Place
As a specialist care home, Kavanagh Place has an excellent track record of supporting adults whose placements have previously failed. Our high staffing levels allow us to build trust and work at the pace of the individual, which leads to improved person-centred and longer-term outcomes.
Many of the people we support at Kavanagh Place are deemed to display behaviours that are ‘too complex’ for mainstream nursing and care providers. Our Nurse-led team has the skills and expertise to support people who display extreme behaviours of concern, including aggressive and sexualized behaviours.
For many of our service users, we’re successful in achieving a significant reduction in behaviours of concern and use of observations within 12 weeks of stay.
My family and I cannot express the gratitude we feel for all the staff who look after my husband, who has dementia. They treat him like a friend and he loves them all so much. He is so happy and is treated with so much love and kindness.
