OneCare at Lonnen Grove
The OneCare service at Lonnen Grove 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.
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 apartment provides a genuine opportunity for him to develop.

Complex care at Lonnen Grove
As a specialist care home, Lonnen Grove 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 Lonnen Grove 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.
Michael moved into Lonnen Grove in 2006. When Michael moved to Lonnen Grove, his goal was to develop his everyday living skills. A few years ago Michael said that he wanted to progress to independent living. He moved into the OneCare service at Lonnen Grove to further develop his independent living skills, including washing, cooking, cleaning, budgeting and gardening. After two years in the OneCare service, we’re proud that Michael is now planning to move into the community to live with his girlfriend.
